Starting System
Starter Field Winding Test
1. Check for continuity between the brushes. lf there's
no continuity, replace the armature housing.
2. Check for continuity between each brush and the ar-
mature housing {ground) lf continuity exists, replace
the armatule housing.
Overrunning Clutch InsPection
Slide the overrunning clutch slong the shatt.
Does it move treely? ll not, replace it.
Rotate the overrunning clutch both ways.
Does it lock in one direction and rotate smoothly in
reverse? lf it does not lock in either direction or it
locks in both directions, replace it.
DRIVE G€AR
ll the starter drive gear is worn or damaged, replsce
the ovsrrunning clutch assembly; the gea. is not
available separately.
Check the condition of the flywheel or torque con-
verter ring gear if the starter drive gear teeth ale
damaged.

5. To adjust ignition timing, loosen the distributor
mounting bolts, and turn the distributor housing
counterclockwise to advance the timing, or clock-
wise to retard the timing.

ldle Speed Inspection
Shift to neutral or Ll] and start the engine. Hold the
engine at 3,OOO rpm with no load until the radiator
fan comes on, then let it idle.
Connect a tachometer to the test tachometer con-
nector.

RectifierTest
NOTE: The diodes are designed to allow current to pass
in one direction while blocking it in the opposite direc-
lion. Each diode must be tested for continuitv in both
directions with an ohmmeter that has diode checking
capability. Since the alternator rectifier is made up of
eight diodes (four pairs), there are a total of '16 checks,
1. Check for continuity in each ditection between the
B and P terminals, and between the E (ground) and
P terminals of each diode pair. All diodes should have
continuity in only one direction,
lf any of the eight diodes tails, replace the rectifier
assembly. (Diodes are not available separately.)
Gharging System
Alternator Brush Inspection
Remove the end cover, then lake oul the brush
holder by removing its two screws
Measure the length of the brushes with a vernier
calioer.
Aliornatol Brush Longlh:
Standard: 10.5 mm (O.41 in)
Servic. Limit: 1.5 mm (O.06 in)
lf the brushes are less than the service limit, replace

Maintenance Reminder Unit Input Test
1.With the ignition switch OFF, disconnect the 5-P
connector from the reminder unit,
Inspect the connector and socket terminals to be
sufe they are all making good contact.
a lJ the terminals are bent, loose orcorroded, repair
them as necessary, and recheck the svstem.
a It the terminals look OK, make the following in-
Put tests at the connecto..- lf a test indicates a problem, tind and correct
the cause, then recheck the system.- It allthe input tests prove OK, the reminder unit
must be taulty; replace it.
