CHARGING SYSTEM

GENERATOR

GENERATOR CONTROLLER

13

18

The electrical equipment is energised by a 12 volt negative ground battery, located on the right-hand front wheelhouse panel. The. battery is charged either by a Lucas C40L generator or a Lucas 10 AC alternator mounted on the left-hand side of the engine and driven in common with the water pump by a vee belt from the crankshaft pulley.

The generator output is controlled by a Lucas RB340 current-voltage controller and an ignition warning lamp is incorporated in the charging circuit.

The alternator output is controlled by a transistorized regulator which is mounted with a relay and warning lamp control on a bracket on the right-hand wheelhouse panel.

Service information for the alternator system is similar to that given on page 17 of 'Alternator Charging Systems' JS776, except for the drive belt tension which is given under specifications in this manual.

GENERATOR

The two-brush two-pole shunt-type generator comprises an armature, field magnet system and brush gear housed in a yoke with end brackets. The brackets are clamped to the yoke by through bolts. The armature shaft is supported by a ball bearing in the drive end bracket, and a sintered-bronze bush in the commutator end bracket. The brush gear is attached to the commutator end bracket, one brush being grounded to the bracket whilst the other brush is insulated and connected to the output (large) terminal. One end of the field winding is connected to the yoke and the other end to the grounded field (small) terminal. Air is circulated through the generator by a fan incorporated in the drive pulley.

GENERATOR- Drive Belt Adjustment

Belt tension must be as specified, and should be

checked midway between generator or alternator

and fan pulleys. When a new fan belt has been

installed, belt tension should be checked after

1000 miles of service.

GENERATOR- Output Test on Car

After checking drive belt adjustment, disconnect generator wires and connect voltmeter positive to output terminal ( 1) and negative to ground. To check armature circuit, run engine at 1500 r.p.m., when voltmeter reading should be 2- 4 volts. If no reading is obtained, possible cause may be loss of residual magnetism. To rectify, flash a lead from battery positive terminal across field terminal (2). If there is still no reading, recondition generator.

If reading is satisfactory, check field circuit. Leave voltmeter connected as in previous check and connect ammeter positive to output terminal (1) and negative to field terminal (2). Start engine and slowly increase speed until voltmeter reading is 12 volts, when ammeter reading should be approximately 2 amps. If output is satisfactory when cold and no fault is apparent in controller or wiring to account for battery not holding charge, run engine to warm generator then recheck output.

GENERATOR- Reconditioning

Do not remove drive end bracket and bearing

assembly from armature shaft unless armature

or bearing require attention. To withdraw bracket

use a three-legged drag, ensuring that legs

locate on bearing housing.

Drive end bearing is secured by a circlip.

Before installing bearing, pack with recommended

grease and assemble felt ring (1) retaining washer

(2) and pressure ring (3).

15

16

GENERATOR- Reconditioning (contd)

Commutator end bracket bush can be removed

by tapping a 5/8 in. thread in bush, then

withdrawing bush with bolt, nut and distance

piece (arrowed).

Before installing new bush, soak felt ring in end bracket with engine oil.

53430

To lubricate new bush, place forefinger over

one end and fill bush with engine oil. With

thumb over other end apply pressure until

oil seeps through bush wall. Repeat operation

until bush is completely saturated.

Press bush in until flush with end bracket.

Commutator can be skimmed provided finished

diameter is not less than specified. As the

commutator on original equipment is of the

moulded type, the insulation between segments

does not require further undercutting.

Before pressing armature shaft into drive end

bearing, locate retaining cup (arrowed) over

shaft collar and ensure that inner race of bearing

is supported by press.

Each brush lead tag must be located 90° to

brush holder and shakeproof washer assembled

between holger and tag. New brushes are

pre-formed so that bedding to commutator is

not required. Ensure that used brushes are

installed in their original positions.

17

18

GENERATOR- Reconditioning (contd)

Brush spring tension must be checked before

assembling armature and end brackets to yoke.

GENERATOR CONTROLLER

3

The current-voltage controller incorporates

a cut-out relay ( 1), current regulator (2) and

voltage regulator (3) mounted on U-frames.

The armature hinge spring on the voltage

regulator and the control spring on the cut-out

relay are of bi-metal construction for tempera­

ture compensation. Adjustment of each armature

spring tension is provided by a toothed cam

which is mounted on the U-frame and contacts

the control spring.

A wire wound field resistor ( 1) bridges the

regulator frames. A swamp resistor (2) in

addition to the bi-metal armature hinge and

control spring, minimizes the effects of tempera­

ture on the resistance of the cut-out and voltage

regulator. Both resistors are protected by a

waterproof covering. The controller cover is

secured by plastic rivets (3) which are heat­

sealed to discourage interference with the

controller settings.

CONTROLLER- Tests

Checks on electrical settings can be made without removing controller cover. There are four tests which must be carried out in a complete sequence, without attempting any adjust­ments, and as quickly as possible to avoid inaccurate readings due to heating of the operating coil.

The first test is for voltage regulator open circuit setting. Disconnect wire from controller- 'S' terminal and prevent wire from grounding. Connect voltmeter positive to 'WL' terminal and negative to ground. Start engine and gradually increase speed to 2000 r.p.m. Voltmeter reading should be as specified. An unsteady voltmeter reading may be due to dirty contacts. If reading is steady but outside limits by no more than 0.5 volt, electrical setting can be adjusted, after completing all tests. If however error exceeds 0.5 volt, it is unlikely that it is due to mal-adjustment and the controller should therefore be renewed.

For the second test, checking cut-out relay

cut-in voltage, reconnect wire to 'B' terminal,

leave voltmeter connected as for previous test

and switch on head lamps. Start engine and

gradually increase speed. Check that cut-in

voltage when contacts close is within specified

limits. Cut-in voltage is that indicated immediate­

ly before voltmeter needle drops back.

To check reverse current (third test), disconnect

wire from controller 'B' terminal and connect

ammeter between 'B' terminal and wire.

Prevent connection from grounding. Switch

on head lamps, start engine and gradually

increase speed until ammeter is showing a

charge. Gradually decrease engine speed and

check that reverse current does not exceed

specified limit.

For the fourth test, checking current regulator

on-load setting, leave ammeter connected as

for previous test. Start engine, switch on head

lamps and connect a 0.5 ohm resistor (having

a rating of not less than 30 amps) across battery

terminals. Gradually increase engine speed to

3000 r.p.m. and check ammeter reading against

specified limits.

CONTROLLER- Adjustments

Should it be necessary to adjust electrical settings, or clean contacts and adjust mechanical settings, controller cover can be removed after cutting through rivets. Special rivets are serviced for installation of cover.

Adjustment to electrical settings is made by

turning cams with Adjuster 54381742.

Adjustments must be carried out in same sequence

as when checking settings and as qu ickly as

possible to avoid inaccurate readings due to

heating of operating coil. When adjusting voltage

regulator, if reading obtained was low, reset

regulator to lower figure of limit and conversely,

if reading was high, reset to higher figure. This

procedure will ensure that the setting will be

within the range for correct temperature

compensation.

Contacts of cut-out relay (3) can be cleaned

in position using only fine glass paper. Voltage

and current regulator contacts ( 1 and 2) must

be removed and cleaned with fine carborundum

stone or paper and wiped with methylated

spirits. After cleaning, check mechanical settings.

To adjust mechanical settings, turn current and voltage regulator cams ( 1 and 2) clockwise to reduce lift on armature control springs, leaving sufficient clearance for tube wrench on current regulator adjustable contact locknut. Insert a 0.058 in. feeler gauge between regulator armature and core face so that it is as far over core as rivet heads will allow. Press regulator armature down firmly and screw adjustable contact inwards until it just touches moving contact. Release armature and check armature to core gap. Procedure is the same for both regu Ia tors.

Cut-out relay contacts should just touch when armature is pressed down on a 0.015 in. feeler gauge inserted between armature and core. Adjust by bending fixed contact ( 1). If armature to core gap on cut-out relay is not within specified limits, adjust by bending armature back stop (2).

After completing mechanical settings, adjust electrical settings.

Four different types of starters are used. The 97.5 cu. in. engine is equipped either with an inertia type- M35G/I, or one of two pre-engaged types- M35G/PE or M35J/PE.

Three types of pre-engaged starter are used with the 120.5 cu. in. engine- M35G/PE, M35J/PE or M418G/PE. Six-cylinder engines are equipped with the M418G/PE type starter.

All models are provided with an ignition and starter switch located on the instrument panel. Where a steering column lock is fitted the switch is located on the steering column. The inertia-type starter is energised through a separate solenoid switch mounted on the battery support bracket. The pre-engaged starters have a built in solenoid which, through an engagement lever, engages and disengages the pinion with the flywheel ring gear in addition to energising the starter.

SOLENOID SWITCH TESTS- Pre-engaged Starters

To prevent operation of starter during testing, disconnect connecting link from 'STA' terminal before commencing tests.

When starter switch is operated it should be

possible to hear movement of solenoid switch. ~

If not, check supply to solenoid by disconnecting

white/red wire from solenoid and connecting

voltmeter positive to wire, and negative to

ground. Operate starter switch, when voltmeter

should record 12 volts. No reading indicates

a faulty starter switch or wiring. 859

SOLENOID SWITCH TESTS- Pre-engaged Starters (contd)

Series and shunt windings of solenoid operating

coil can be checked without removing switch

from starter. To check resistance of series

winding, connect ohmmeter between 'ST A'

terminal and white/red wire terminal.

740

To check resistance of shunt winding, connect

ohmmeter between white/red wire terminal and

solenoid body.

741

Check continuity of windings by connecting a

test lamp between 'STA' terminal and battery

cable terminal.

742

Closure of contacts can be checked with test lamp connected as for previous test. Operate starter switch, when solenoid operation should be audible and closure of contacts indicated by light going out.

To check starting feed for ignition coil,

disconnect white/blue wire from 'IGN'

terminal and connect voltmeter between

terminal and ground. When starter switch is

operated, voltmeter should register 12 volts.

If there is no reading, renew solenoid switch.

SOLENOID SWITCH TESTS- Inertia Starter

When starter switch is operated a click should be heard from solenoid switch indicating that solenoid contact bridge is moving. If there -is no click, check supply to solenoid by connecting voltmeter positive to white/red terminal, and negative to ground. Operate starter switch, when voltmeter should record 12 volts. No reading indicates a faulty starter switch or wiring.

Closure of solenoid switch contacts can be checked by connecting voltmeter between starter cable terminal and battery cable terminal on switch. With contacts open, voltmeter reading should be 12 volts. To prevent engine firing during this and next test, disconnect djstributor LT. wire from negative terminal on ignition coil. When starter switch is operated, and switch contacts close, voltmeter reading should not exceed 0.5 volt. If reading exceeds this figure, renew solenoid switch.

solenoid switch.

M35G/PE and M418G/PE STARTERS

The M35G/PE and M418G/PE pre-engaged starters are series wound four-pole, four-brush units, incorporating a two-stage solenoid switch. The end brackets are clamped to the yoke by through bolts and incorporate sintered bronze bushes which support the armature.

The brush gear, mounted on the commutator end bracket, has two brushes grounded to the bracket and two insulated brushes connected to the field coil assembly. The M35G/PE starter has aluminium field coils, whilst the M418G/PE has copper coils.

The solenoid switch is bolted to an extension of the drive end bracket, and axial movement of the switch plunger provides engagement and disengagement of the pinion through a lever which pivots about an adjustable eccentric pin housed in the drive end bracket. Torque is developed by the starter only when the pinion has engaged the ring gear, and the current is automatically switched off before the pinion is retracted. A one-way roller clutch is provided between the armature and pinion to prevent overspeeding of the armature in the event of the engaged position being held after the engine has started.

Type M35G/PE starter has aluminium field coils, therefore when renewing insulated brushes, cut off original brush leads 0.30 in. from coil tags. Tin loop of new brush leads (taking care that solder does not run towards brush) and solder loop over remaining part of original leads.

Commutator can be skimmed providing diameter is not reduced below specified minimum. Insulators between segments must not be undercut. If conductors are lifting from commutator or solder appears to have 'thrown', overspeeding is indicated and roller clutch should be checked.

A roller clutch in good condition will provide instantaneous take up of drive in one direction and rotate smoothly and easily in other. Assembly should move freely round and along armature shaft splines without roughness or tendency to bind. Should assembly not meet these requirements it must be renewed.

Armature shaft bushes are the porous bronze type and new bushes must be saturated with engine oil as described as for generator commutator end bush, before installing.

M35G/PE and M418G/PE STARTERS- Reassembly

Lubricate components of engagement lever and drive assembly with recommended grease.

Install rubber sealing grommet in drive end

bracket before assembling bracket and armature

to yoke.

After assembling starter, pinion movement must be adjusted as follows:

1. Disconnect copper link from solenoid 'STA' (to prevent possible rotation of armature) and connect jumper lead across 'STA' terminal and starter body.

2. Connect positive terminal of 6 volt battery through a switch to small soldered terminal on solenoid and battery negative terminal to starter body. A 6 volt supply is used as a safety measure to avoid rapid axial movement of the pinion.

3. Close switch (this throws drive assembly forward into engaged position) and measure dimension 'A' between pinion and thrust collar on armature shaft extension. To ensure accuracy when taking this measurement, press pinion lightly towards armature, so taking up any slack in engagement linkage.

4. Should dimension 'A' not be within specified limits, slacken locknut ( 1) and turn eccentric pivot pin (2) until correct setting is obtained. Arc of adjustment is 1806, and pivot pin must be set so that arrow head on pin is adjacent to arrows marked on drive end bracket.

32

M35J/PE STARTER (contd)

The continuously wound field winding has no

interconnecting joints, one end being grounded

to the yoke, whilst the other end is joined to

a pair of brushes. The yoke is windowless,

with independently fixed end brackets and no

through bolts. Instead, two pole shoes

incorporate studs to which the drive end

bracket is attached, whilst the commutator end

bracket is secured to the yoke by two screws.

Armature end float is controlled at the commutator end by a thrust plate and shims which are assembled to the armature shaft extension. These parts are retained on the shaft by a split pin which also locks the thrust plate and shims together so that they rotate with the armature shaft.

The starter incorporates a two-stage solenoid switch which engages the pinion with the flywheel ring gear. Torque is developed by the starter only when the pinion has engaged the ring gear, and the current is automatically switched off before the pinion is retracted.

To prevent overspeeding of the armature if the starter is kept engaged after the engine has started, the drive from the motor to the pinion is taken through a one-way roller clutch.

The actuating position of the engagement lever in the drive end bracket is pre-set and cannot be altered. The lever pivots about a non-adjustable pin which is retained in the drive end bracket by a spring clip.

M35J/PE STARTER- Disassembly and Reconditioning

The 201 cu.in. engine has a spigot mounted distributor which is driven by the oil pump drive gear through an offset-slotted sleeve on the distributor mainshaft. The spark plugs for this engine are conventional flat seat type with gasket.

All engines are equipped with an oil-filled resistor-type ignition coil.

A four-position ignition and starter switch provides ignition locking, and controls the accessory and starter circuits.

LOW TENSION CIRCUIT TESTS

Ensure battery is in satisfactory state of charge. Complete tests as quickly as possible and switch off ignition otherwise resistor will overheat.

To check supply to coil, connect voltmeter

positive to coil white wire terminal and negative

to ground. Close circuit breaker contacts and

switch on ignition. Voltmeter reading should be

11.5 to 12 volts. If there is no reading, check

whether fuel gauge registers. If gauge registers,

check coil white wire. If gauge does not

register, check ignition and starter switch and

multi-socket connector.

To check coil resistor, connect voltmeter

positive to blue/white wire terminal and negative

HEAD LAMPS

Sealed Beam Light Unit

The four-lamp system comprises either sealed beam or pre-focus type light units depending on the regulations of the country concerned. The two inner lamps have a main beam filament only whilst the two outer lamps have a dipped beam filament and a supplementary main beam filament.

When on main beam, all four lamps are in operation. Dipping the lights extinguishes the inner lamps and switches the outer lamps from supplementary main beam filament to dip filament.

Pre-focus Light Unit

With the exception of cars for countries stipulating

separate side lamps, a side lamp bulb is incorpora-

ted in the outer lamps. On sealed beam light

units the bulb is located in a holder'( 1) integral

with the wiring adaptor and provides illumination

through a transparent area (2) in the reflector.

53727

On pre-focus light units the side lamp bulb is

located in a separate holder which is a push fit

in a hole in the reflector. The head lamp bulbs

of pre-focus units are European type with an

integral holder.

Access to wiring adaptor and side lamp holder,

and head lamp bulb on pre-focus units, is

obtained after squeezing sides of plastic cover

and withdrawing it from lamp body.

To withdraw a light unit, radiator grille must

be removed. After slackening three screws

(arrowed) the rim can be removed by. turning

anti-clockwise.

79

80

HEAD LAMPS (contd)

The head lamps are secured to the front end

panel by four screws and speed nuts, accessible

after removing the radiator grille. On early models

lamps are secured by pop rivets, which must be

drilled out to remove assembly. When installing,

screws and speed nuts can be used in place of

rivets.

HEAD LAMP AIMING

The head lamps incorporate two beam trim

screws which can be rotated with Adjuster VR2024.

Access to screws is from engine compartment.

Before checking head lamp aim, ensure that the car is at kerb weight and standing on a level surface with tyres inflated to specified pressure. If the car regularly carries an unusually heavy load in the luggage compartment or tows a trailer, these loads should be on the car when the head lamp aim is checked.

An optical type beam-setter should be used and sealed beam inner lamps set so that the beam is 1/2° down with no lateral deflection.

Aiming of sealed beam outer lamps must be carried out whilst on dipped beam. The lamp should be set so that the beam is 2° down and 2° to the left or right according to drive.

The procedure for aiming pre-focus lamps is similar but the final setting must be in accordance with the regulations of the country concerned.

SIDE/TURN SIGNAL LAMPS

On models for the home market and certain export territories the lamps have single-filament bulbs and amber lens and are for turn signal application only.

For other export territories the lamps have twin-filament bulbs to provide side as well as turn signal lamps. The lens are either clear or amber depending on the regulations of the country concerned.

~

Access to bulb can be gained after removing

lens secured by two screws. Where twin-filament

bulbs are provided the bulbs have staggered pins.

The lamps are secured in the front valance panel by two studs and nuts.

REAR LAMPS

Two makes of rear lamp are used, Lucas and Magnatex. Both makes are similar in external appearance but component parts are not interchangeable. The lamps are secured in the rear quarter panel by four studs and nuts. The two bulb holders are mounted in a box which is retained by two or three screws according to make of lamp and on later versions a clip (arrowed) replaces the outer screw securing the bulb box. The tail/stop lamp bulb has offset pins. A protective cover is secured to the lamp body by knurled screws on saloon models. On estate cars the cover is attached to the body by screws.

WIPER UNIT- Removal

Access to wiper unit can be gained after removing

scuttle upper panel. Harness plug can be dis-

connected from motor after removing unit

attaching bolts and detaching rubber retainer.

WIPER UNIT- Reconditioning

A pivot assembly can be renewed by drilling out rivets using 1/8 in. diameter drill and riveting a new assembly to unit. Ensure that correct pivot for specific side and drive is used.

Wiper motor is assembled to unit with end frame towards driver's side. Assembly for right drive is shown at 'A', and for left drive at 'B'.

When reassembling links, apply recommended lubricant to bushes and washers.

Link on driver's side mustoe assembled to crank before link on passenger's side. To ensure adequate clearance between links and crank, bushes are installed in links so that flange of bush is towards crank.

WIPER UNIT- Installation

When installing unit do not overtighten mounting bolts otherwise linkage may foul scuttle panel.

WIPER MOTOR

The wiper motor is a two-pole permanent magnet type. A worm integral with the armature shaft engages a pinion which drives the cross-shaft gear. A crank attached to the cross-shaft operates the wiper linkage. The armature is supported by a bush in the housing and a spherical bearing in the end frame which is secured to the housing by three spring clips. A non-adjustable self-parking switch is incorporated for controlling the parked positron of the wiper arms. The supply to the motor is taken through the ignition and starter switch via No. 1 fuse and the wiper switch.

cross-shaft withdrawn. Take care of thrust

washers.

When removing armature from end frame take care of thrust ball in end of shaft.

WIPER MOTOR- Inspection and Reconditioning

Armature shaft and cross-shaft bushes are not serviced separately. The gear housing is serviced complete with bushes and end frame is serviced as an assembly with magnets and bush.

Cross-shaft and gear are serviced only as a complete assembly.

To renew grounded brush, cut original brush lead 0.20 in. from post and solder new brush lead to remaining piece of original lead.

Before installing cross-shaft, pack space between bushes and coat housing with recommended grease. Do not omit thrust washer.

Water shield and crank must be assembled to

cross-shaft so that relative location of self-

parking segment 'A' and crank 'B' are as shown.

B 794

Shaft should rotate freely and end float be within specified limit after crank nut is tightened to specified torque.

When installing worm wheel a thrust washer must be fitted and retainer pressed on shaft until end float of wheel is within specified limits.

WIPER MOTOR- Reassembly

Before inserting armature in end frame, lubricate bush with engine oil and apply anti-scuffing paste to thrust ball recess in shaft end. To ensure ball is not misplaced it should be placed in bush and armature then inserted.

Lubricate bush in housing with engine oil.

89

90

WIPER MOTOR- Reassembly (contd)

To retain brushes in retracted position whilst

assembling armature and end frame to gear

housing, brush leads should be hooked over

tags on brush holders.

After assembling armature and end frame to gear

housing, release brush leads from tags as shown.

Engage clips securing end frame and gear

housing by applying firm pressure with thumb.

After locating a new nylon thrust bearing on the worm end of armature shaft, apply anti-scuffing paste to bearing and screw in thrust screw so that it is just clear of thrust bearing (final adjustment is made during motor test). Tighten thrust screw locknut to specified torque.

Gear housing must be repacked to approximately one-third capacity ..with recommended grease.

To test motor and adjust armature end float, ,~,

connect motor in circuit with 12 volt battery and AMPS

ammeter as shown. Jumper lead is connectpd

between terminals (2) and (3) for continuous 12V

running and between (2) and ( 1) to check self-

parking.

Whilst motor is running, lightly tap end frame and housing with hide mallet to align spherical bearings and thus reduce current consumption to a minimum. Adjust armature end float by screwing in thrust screw until current consumption increases by not more than 0.1 amp.

Current consumption should be checked after running light for 5 to 10 minutes.

To check for correct self-parking, transfer jumper lead from terminal (3) to terminal ( 1 ). If crank

does not come to rest in position shown, self­parking segment is incorrectly assembled.

LUCAS ACRAL TERNATOR

A Lucas 15 ACR alternator is standard equip­

ment on later 97.5 cu in. engines. A 17 ACR

alternator is standard on later 120.5 and 201

cu in. engines, and optional on 97.5 cu in.

engines.

These alternators incorporate a built-in

regulator and do not require a relay or warn­

ing lamp control. Service information is given

in Alternator Charging Systems TS 951, and

Supplement TS 1041. $4581

With this equipment, the drive belt should be adjusted to give a deflection of 0.24 in. under thumb pressure applied midway between water pump and alternator pulleys (80 lb tension gauge reading).

AC-DELCO ALTERNATOR

AC-Delco 28 amp and 35 amp alternators are

used on some later cars, as completely inter­

changeable alternatives to Lucas 15 AC R and

17 ACR units respectively.

Physical wiring diagrams for cars with AC-Delco alternators differ from those published for Lucas ACR units only in that the field link wire is redundant.

Service information on AC-Delco alternators is covered in a publication obtainable from AC-Delco Division of General Motors Ltd, Dunstable LU6 1 BO, England.

5

STARTER CIRCUIT CHECKS- Pre-engaged Starters

The starter circuit checks for pre-engaged type starters are revised as follows:

1983

1984

1985

6

Check supply to solenoid by disconnecting white/red wire from solenoid and connecting voltmeter positive to wire and negative to ground. Operate k.ey-start switch, when volt­meter should record battery voltage.

No reading indicates a faulty starter switch or wiring, or when automatic transmission is in­stalled, a maladjusted or faulty starter inhibitor switch.

Reconnect white/red wire and connect volt­meter across main terminals on solenoid; battery voltage should be obtained. Operate key-start switch and if solenoid contacts are closing, voltmeter reading should drop to zero. If reading fails to drop to zero, solenoid switch must be renewed.

To check starting feed for ignition coil, dis­connect white/blue wire (ignition systems with resistor) or white wire (ignition systems with coil feed resistance wire) from 'IGN' terminal and connect voltmeter between terminal and ground.

When key-start switch is operated and engine is cranked, voltmeter should read at least 8 volts. If there is no reading, renew solenoid switch.

LUCAS M35J/1 STARTER

~~~~j 2093

An M35J/I inertia-type starter is used in place of the M35G/I on later 97.5 cu in. engines.

This starter has a face-type moulded commutator and, apart from the pinion arrangement, is very similar to the M35J/PE pre-engaged starter.

The starter drive components are similar to those of the M35G/I starter and can be serviced in the same manner.

The remainder of the starter can be serviced by referring to the instructions for the M35J/PE starter and ignoring the details connected with the solenoid and pinion engagement.

IGNITION COl L COVER

A neoprene coil cover is used on later engines.

The coil to distributor high tension lead passes

through the cover wh ich is a push fit ov~r the

top of the coil.

On cars with the cover, the coil resistor is superseded by a length of resistance wire incorporated into the wiring harness between the ignition and starter switch and the coil starting feed wire.

7

LOW TENSION CIRCUIT TESTS- Cars with Coil Cover The deletion of the resistor +ro the coil necessitates revisions to the procedure for checking the coil supply.

The procedure for check ing the coil primary winding and circuit breaker contacts is unchanged.

+

8

COIL STARTING SUPPLY CHECK

1973

To check starting supply to coil, disconnect white wire from coil and connect voltmeter positive to wire and negative to ground. When key-start switch is turned to start position and engine is cranked, voltmeter should register at least 8 volts. No reading or a low reading could be due to faulty contacts in starter solenoid switch or defective wiring.

COIL RUNNING SUPPLY CHECK

To check resistance wire (running supply), reconnect white wire to coil, leaving volt­meter connected as in previous test, and switch on ignition. With circuit breaker contacts closed, voltmeter should register approximately 5 volts.

The resistance wire is not serviced separately from the wiring harness.

IGNITION TIMING - 97.5 cu in. Engine

For a limited number of 97.5 cu in. engines,

the correct ignition timing is 18° BTDC, this

change coinciding with revisions to the carbur­

etter (see Engine and Clutch Supplement

TS 971).

On these engines the crankshaft pulley has an

additional mark ( 1) on its rear flange, which

for 18° BTDC must coincide with go BTDC

pointer (2).

TIMING MARKS- 97.5 and 120.5 cu in. Engines

On g7_5 and 120.5 cu in. engines with a front

cover, timing marks are moulded in the cover.

Generally, two marks are provided but some

covers have three marks, TDC ( 1), go BTDC (2)

and 18° BTDC (3). In all cases the third mark

should be ignored.

DISTRIBUTOR- 97.5 cu in. Engine

A distributor with revised centrifugal and vacuum advance characteristics is used on later g7 .5 cu in. engines. With this distributor the ignition timing reverts to go BTDC.

This distributor can be distinguished by the part number (7g53734) stamped on the base flange opposite the vacuum advance unit.

The mainshaft, cam and advance weights are

stamped '786', '35' and '843' respectively.

The advance weight springs are marked with red paint.

DISTRIBUTOR - 120.5 cu in. Engine (Victor)

A distributor with revised centrifugal and vacuum advance characteristics is used on later 120.5 cu in. low compression engines. The same distributor was also used on a limited number of high compression engines.

This distributor can be distinguished by the part number (7953732) stamped on the base flange opposite the vacuum advance unit.

The mainshaft, cam and advance weights are

stamped '795', '33' and '53' respectively.

The advance weight springs are marked with red paint.

DISTRIBUTOR- 120.5 cu in. Engine (Code 636)

On 120.5 cu in. engines built to Code 636 (European Exhaust Emission Control), a revised carburetter and dis.tributor are used.

The distributor used is basically the same as that used on engines without exhaust em iss ion control except that the vacuum advance mechanism is deleted and the centrifugal advance curve is different.

The mainshaft can be identified by being stamped with the number 795, the cam and baseplate assembly with 33, and the advance weights with 53. The advance weight springs have red paint on their end coils.

DISTRIBUTOR- VX 4/90

The distributor used on the VX 4/90 engine is identical to that described in the manual for the 120.5 cu in. high compression Victor engine.

DISTRIBUTOR MAINSHAFT- 97.5 and 120.5 cu in. Engines

2

A distributor mainshaft incorporating an oil

return scroll ( 1) is used on later engines. This

mainshaft has a wide slot (2), to suit a thick

3 tongue on the oil pump drive shaft. Where the

scrolled mainshaft replaces a shaft with a

narrow slot (3). the oil pump drive shaft must

also be changed.

DISTRIBUTOR FLANGE SEALING- 97.5 and 120.5 cu in. Engines

On later engines, Hylomar SQ32/M jointing compound is used instead of a gasket to seal the joint between the distributor and the oil pump flange. When applying Hylomar to the distributor joint, ensure that it completely covers the mating face of the oil pump and is evenly distributed. Ensure no excess jointing compound enters the inside of the oil pump.

OISTRIBUTOR- Ventora II

With the introduction of an impulse-type tachometer on later Ventora II, the distributor is revised by the deletion of the tachometer drive.

12

IGNITION TIMING- 201 cu in. Engine

On later cars, the vacuum advance drilling in the carburetter is situated below the throttle flap. The purpose is to cause maximum ignition advance when the throttle is in the idling position. When setting ignition timing, it is necessary to disconnect the vacuum advance pipe from the distributor, and plug the end of the pipe temporarily.

If, at idling speed, the collar on the shaft is in the fully advanced position, in contact with the control unit, the modified carburetter is installed.

DISTRIBUTOR VACUUM ADVANCE- 201 cu in. Engine

On later cars, a new distributor providing a greater range of vacuum advance is used.

LATE

The shape of the vacuum control unit provides a means of identification.

The vacuum advance data published on page 7 of the manual now applies only to the early distributor. Data for the later type is as follows:.

13

SPARK PLUG GAP- 97.5 and 120.5 cu in. Engines

The standard gap for the spark plugs of 97.5 and 120.5 cu in. engines is 0.030 in.

During the engine running-in period, however, the plug gap should be maintained at 0.026 in. This setting should also be used when a short motor or rebuilt engine is installed.

INSTRUMENT AND WARNING LAMP BULB RENEWAL- 1969 Victor

To gain access to rear of instruments for bulb renewal on 1969 Victor, face level ventilator on passenger side, instrument surround (five screws), and long facia panel (one screw), must be removed. The ventilator is retained in a grommet in the scuttle panel and is secured by one screw.

14

INSTRUMENTS- Victor Super, 2000 SL and 3300 SL

The instrument head of Victor Super, 2000 SL and 3300 SL is similar to that of earlier models, but with the addition of a water temperature gauge. Turn signal indicator lamps are mounted in the fog lamp and lighting switch clusters which are a push fit in the instrument surround.

Access to instruments and warning lamps is

gained by removing lower facia panel and

withdrawing instrument head and surround,

which is secured by four screws (arrowed).

To allow assembly to be withdrawn, speedo-

meter cable must be unclipped and dis-

connected from transmission.

r

The turn signal indicator bulbs can be with-

drawn without removing the instrument

surround, after the lighting and fog lamp

switches have been prised out.

With the introduction of the water temperature

gauge, the instrument printed circuit is revised,

which necessitates a change to the fuel gauge

test procedure.

Gauge should read 'F' when terminal (4) is

connected to battery negative and terminal (7)

to battery positive. Gauge should read 'E' when

an additional wire is connected between term­

inal ( 11) and battery negative.

To test temperature gauge, connect terminal

(4) to battery negative, and a 12 volt 6 watt

bulb between terminal (6) and battery negative.

Connect terminal (7) to battery positive, when

gauge should read 'H'.

INSTRUMENTS- Ventora II

On Ventora II, the individual water temperature, oil pressure and fuel gauges, and the ammeter, · are mounted on a carrier in the lower facia panel, at the centre of the car. Also mounted in the

lower facia panel are ignition, oil pressure and low fuel warning lamps. Provision is made for a brake pressure warning lamp.

The low fuel warning lamp is operated by a switch incorporated in the fuel gauge tank unit.

The speedometer and tachometer are mounted behind the instrument surround which also carries warning lamps for main beam, 'lights on' and turn signals.

The warning lamps are a push fit in the instrument surround.

On later models, an electric impulse-type tachometer is used.

The tachometer wiring harness has a push-on multi-connector. The instrument is supplied through No. 2 fuse by the green wire. The white/black wire supplies 'governing impulses' from the negative side of the ignition coil, and the black wire is the ground connection.

Access to instruments and warning lamps is

gained by removing lower facia panel which is

held in position by five screws.

Instrument head and surround can be detached

from instrument panel after removing four

attaching screws.

Carrier and instruments can be separated from

lower facia panel after removing four attaching

screws.

17

INSTRUMENTS- Ventora II (contd)

'Lights on', main beam and turn signal warn-

ing lamps can be withdrawn without removing

surround, by prising out the appropriate

assembly.

To gain access to instrument head, lower facia panel must be removed. This is secured by five screws.

INSTRUMENTS- VX 4/90

The instruments of the VX 4/90 are similar to Ventora II, with an impulse-type tachometer.

SPEEDOMETER CABLE

Later models are fitted with a left-hand wound speedometer cable, to minimize the p-ossibility of grease contaminating the instrument.

Unlike the earlier right-hand wound cable, the left-hand wound cable should be lubricated over its entire length.

18

IGNITION AND STARTER SWITCH REMOVAL-1969 Victor and Ventora

To gain access to the rear of the ignition and starter switch on 1969 V ictor and Ventora (single­piece facia panel). it is necessary to remove the face level ventilator on the dr iver's side.

LIGHTING, WINDSHIELD WIPER AND FOG LAMP SWITCHES­Victor Super, 2000 SL and 3300 SL

On Victor Super, 2000 SL and 3300 SL the

lighting and fog lamp switches are of the three­

position toggle type, mounted in the surround

at either side of the instrument head. Access is

gained by prising out appropriate assembly.

Switch terminals are numbered and wires

connect as follows:

4. Red/ brown 7. Brown/ blue 8. Blue

55010

The windshield wiper switch is mounted in the lower facia panel, which is retained by lugs on the lower edge and by screws (four at the top and one at the bottom).

On cars with two-speed windshield wipers, the switch is a three-position type incorporating a push-type switch for the electrically-operated windshield wash pump.

Wiring connections to switch terminals are as follows:

Single-speed:

Two-speed :

1. Black/yellow

1. Black/yellow

2. Black/red

2. Black/red

3. Green

3. Green 4. Blue

19

LIGHTING SWITCH - Ventora II

On Ventora II, which incorporates a 'lights-on' warning lamp in the instrument panel, the lighting switch has four wires connected to it.

Some early switches have two of the colour·

coded wires wrongly located, and can be

identified by the date stamp M9 adjacent to

the part number.

These switches must be connected as follows:

Blue/brown wire ( 1) from switch to red/brown

wire (2) of harness, red/brown wire (3) from

switch to blue/brown wire (4) of harness.

Other wires must be connected with colours

matching.

Switches date stamped N9 onwards are wired correctly and must be connected with colour codes matching.

WINDSHIELD WIPER AND WASH SWITCHES­VX 4/90 and Ventora II

The two-speed windshi-eld wipers of VX 4/90 and Ventora II are controlled by the left-hand switch on the centre console, and the electrically· operated windshield wash by a push-button switch to the rear of the wiper switch.

Access to wash switch is gained by raising console cover after removing retaining screws.

OVERDRIVE CONTROL SWITCH

On cars with overdrive, the control switch is located in the gear shift lever grip and the switch wires pass down the centre of the hollow lever. Access to the switch is gained by prising off the grip cover.

Removal and installation of the switch wires on an early type shift lever is straightforward. On later cars, it is necessary to remove the lever assembly and disassemble the reverse gear catch mechanism.

Information concerning the later type gear shift lever is given in Synchromesh Transmission and Rear Axle Supplement TS 973.

Before installing a gear shift lever grip, smear grip threads with Loctite Grade C to prevent grip loosening in service and twisting wires inside lever.

THERMAL CIRCUIT BREAKER­

Victor Super, 2000 SL, 3300 SL and VX 4/90

On Victor Super, 2000 SL, 3300 SL and VX 4/90, the thermal circuit breaker is a self-contained unit similar to that used on Ventora.

55014

INSTRUMENT AND INTERIOR LAMP SWITCH­Victor Super, 2000 SL and 3300 SL

Victor Super, 2000 SL and 3300 SL are provided with a rotary-type instrument and interior lamp switch similar to Ventora, but mounted in a steel heat shield under the instrument panel.

The heat shield is secured to the instrument panel by two screws. Switch and heat shield can be withdrawn as an assembly.

Switch body is numbered and connections are as follows: 1. Red. 2. Purple/white 3. Red/white.

21

BACKLIGHT DEMIST SWITCH -

Victor Super, 2000 SL, 3300 SL, VX 4/90 and Ventora II

On cars for which a heated backlight is speci-

fied, the switch is mounted in the instrument

panel lower cover. The switch is a double-

action push-button type. Depressing the switch

once will switch on the heating element and

a second depression will release the switch

plunger.

Access to switch is gained by withdrawing instrument panel lower cover.

REVERSE LAMP SWITCH- Four-speed Synchromesh Transmission

5

4

On some later cars with four-speed synchromesh transmission, a plunger-type reverse lamp switch ( 1) is screwed into a housing (3) which is secured to the side of the transmission casing by a plate (4) and two bolts. The switch is operated by the striking lever shaft (5) and requires no adjustment.

To detach switch, remove bolts securing plate and withdraw switch and housing assembly from transmission. Switch can now be unscrewed from housing. When assembling switch to housing, ensure sealing washer (2) is sound and tighten switch to 171b ft.

Before installing switch and housing on transmission, make sure 0-ring (6) is in position on housing.

22

REVERSE LAMP AND STARTER INHIBITOR SWITCHES- Automatic Transmission

The two switches mounted one above the other, are attached to a bracket which is secured to the floor panel by two screws and are operated by cams on the transmission selector lever. The inhibitor switch is at the top. Clearance holes are provided in the switch bracket to permit adjustment. The switches are accessible after removing the console.

Adjust position of switches so that with selector lever in 'N' or 'P' (neutral or park) posi­tion, respective cam ( 1) or (2) depresses roller (3) on upper switch. This closes contacts in the switch for the starter circuit. Check that starter will not operate when 'D' 'I' 'L' or 'R' is selected. Check also that roller on reverse lamp switch is depressed by lower cam (8) when 'R' (reverse is selected).

Wiring connections to switch terminals are as follows:

6

4. White/red 5. White/ yellow 6. Green 7. Green/ brown I 113

PARKING BRAKE SWITCH

On some cars, a parking brake switch of the spring-loaded plunger type is installed to provide a means of checking the operation of the br<;~ke pressure warning lamp.

On Victor cars, the switch is secured to a bracket attached to the engine side rai I. The switch plunger is operated by contact with the parking brake front lever.

23

PARKING BRAKESWITCH (contd)

On VX 4/90 and Ventora cars, the switch is secured to a bracket attached to a parking brake lever retaining bolt. The switch is operated by contact with the parking brake lever.

When the ignition is switched on, with the parking brake on the pressure warning lamp is illuminated. When the brake lever is in the off position the switch circuit is open.

Adjustment of switch is achieved on Victor cars by repositioning locking nuts situated each side of mounting bracket. On VX 4/90 and Ventora cars, switch adjustment is achieved by bending switch mounting bracket.

When switch position is correctly adjusted, switch circuit should close when parking brake lever is pulled on three notches on Victor cars and one notch on Ventora and VX 4/90 cars.

CIGARETTE LIGHTER -Victor Super, 2000 SL, 3300 SL, VX 4/90 and Ventora II

A flush-fitting cigarette lighter mounted in the instrument panel lower cover is used on VX 4/90 and Ventora II. Provision is also made for the fitment of this cigarette lighter on Victor Super, 2000 SL and 3300 SL.

To gain access for removing lighter, instrument panel lower cover must be removed.

When installing lighter, assemble so that bulb holder is at the bottom.

HEAD LAMP WATTAGE- Sealed-beam Lamps

On later models, the rating of the inner (main beam) head lamps of the sealed-beam type is increased from 37.5 to 50 watts.

There is no change to pre-focus lamps.

HEAD LAMP TRIM SCREW ADJUSTER

Adjuster VR2024 is superseded by VR2103.

24

TURN SIGNAL SYSTEM

On later models a vane-type turn signal unit is used. This is mounted in a similar position to the earlier hot-wire type and is accessible after removing lower fascia panel.

The vane-type unit is quieter in operation to the hot-wire type, and this characteristic should not be considered as cause for replacement.

Other characteristics of the vane-type unit result in different effects in the event of bulb failure, as follows:

One turn signal bulb defective Other bulb on same side, and respective warning lamp bulb, will remain on (not flashing), with no audible warning from unit, when switch is operated.

Both turn signal bulbs on same side defective

Warning lamp bulb will remain on (not flashing), with no audible warning from unit, when switch is operated.

Warning lamp bulb defective Turn signal bulbs flash at a slightly lower frequency and audible warning remains operative.

HAZARD WARNING SYSTEM The hazard warning system comprises push-pull switch and flasher unit which are connected into the turn signal circuit. The switch, which is secured to a bracket below the instrument panel, incorporates a red translucent knob which houses a peanut bulb. The flasher unit is clipped behind the facia panel, adjacent to the turn signal unit.

With the hazard warning switch pulled outwards the normal turn signal unit is isolated and the hazard warning flasher unit operates all four turn signal lamps simultaneously.

Visual warning that the system is operating is given to the driver by the bulb in the switch lamp flashing, in addition to the turn signal warning lamps.

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION SELECTOR LAMP

On cars with automatic transmission a lamp containing a 1.5 watt peanut bulb is secured to the underside of the console to provide illumination for the selector indicator.

Access to selector indicator bulb is gained by raising console cover after removing retaining screw.

WINDSHIELD WIPER BLADE JUDDER

If windshield wiper blade judder should occur in both directions of wipe, the trouble is usually due to a defective blade.

However, if judder occurs in one direction of wipe only, the fault will be with the alignment of the wiper arm with the glass.

25

WINDSHIELD WIPER BLADE JUDDER (contd)

Should judder occur when the blade is moving

in the direction of the large arrow, the arm

should be twisted in the direction indicated by

the small arrow, and conversely if judder occurs

in the opposite direction.

The operation should be done in small stages until wiper blade operation is normal.

WINDSHIELD WIPER ARM LOCATION

To provide the maximum effective area of wipe, the windshield wiper arms should be positioned on their spirrdles so that the blade is 3.00 in. above the top edge of the reveal moulding when parked.

TWO-SPEED WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR

The two-speed wiper motor used on some cars is of similar construction to the single-speed unit, but uses a different armature and incorporates an additional brush to provide the second speed.

3

When the wiper switch is in the slow position the motor is supplied by the two opposed brushes (1) and (2) and when the switch is in the fast position the motor is supplied by brushes (2) and (3) .

Later two-speed wiper motors have a safety cut-out (4) which is a sealed unit of the bi­metal type. This is mounted on the brush plate and connected between one of the brushes and ground.

Servicing procedure for the two-speed motor is the same as for the single-speed unit.

26

To test motor, connect in circuit with a 12 volt

battery as shown.

Connect supply lead to terminal (2) for low

speed and terminal (4) for high speed.

Current consumption should be 1.2 amp (low

speed) or 2.0 amp (high speed) after running

light for 5 to 10 minutes.

To check self-parking, connect supply lead to

terminal (3) and add a jumper lead between

terminals ( 1) and (2).

,~, AMPS

WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR CONNECTIONS

Feed and switch wires are connected to the windshield wiper motor as follows:

Single-speed: 1. Black/yellow 2. Black/red 3. Green

Two-speed: 1. Black/yellow 2. Black/red 3. Green 4. Blue

WINDSHIELD WASH- Two-speed Wipers

VX 4/90 and Ventora II, and other models

when equipped with two-speed windsh ield

wipers, are provided with ~n electrically-

operated windshield wash.

The wash pump is mounted on the underside

of the bonnet, and the electrical supply is taken

through the same circuit as the windshield

wipers.

+

1316

27

WINDSHIELD WASH- Two-speed Wipers (contd)

On disassembly, access to pump impeller (6)

is obtained by removal of end cover_(2), seal

(3) distance piece (4) and nylon washer (5).

Cover is retained by four bolts (1), against

motor body (8) and pump housing (7).

On installation, yellow tube from jet T-piece connects to union marked 'JETS'.

When connecting wires to a windshield wash pump provided with a ground wire (black), ensure that green/black wire is assembled to positive terminal. Direction of motor will be reversed if connections are the wrong way round.
