Control and replacement of the ignition interrupter
Note: if your distributor looks like the one shown in fig. 8.7a is the TOYO DENSO distributor. Otherwise, HITACHI firms. 1. Remove the distributor cap ( see chapter 1 ). 2. Remove the breaker wires (see fig. 8.2). 3....

RFI Capacitor — Inspection and Replacement
Note: a failed capacitor can cause the engine to shut down, so information on it is placed in this chapter. 1. Measure the capacitance of the capacitor and compare it with the specification data. 2. In the absence of a...

Ignition distributor — removal and installation
Withdrawal 1. Disconnect the negative cable from the battery. 2. Disconnect the regulator vacuum hose. 3. Disconnect the low voltage wires from the coil. 4. Determine the label position "1" on the cover corresponding to...

Magnetic resistance gap (1984-1987 models only) — control and adjustment
1. Disconnect the negative cable from the battery. 2. Remove the distributor cap and rotor ( see chapter 1 ). 3. Using non-magnetic feelers, check the equality of the air gap between the stator and the magnetic...

Magnetic resistance (1984-1987) — replacement
1. Disconnect the negative cable from the battery. 2. Remove the distributor cap. 3. Remove the magnetic resistance by prying it off with a pair of suitable screwdrivers. Be careful: too much force can damage the...

Vacuum Ignition Advance Controller — Inspection and Replacement
Control 1. Disconnect the negative cable from the battery. 2. Remove the distributor cap. 3. Disconnect vacuum hoses from a diaphragm of a vacuum regulator. Connect vacuum pump to diaphragm port (if there are two hoses,...

Centrifugal Ignition Advance Controller — Control
1. Disconnect the vacuum advance control hoses and plug them. 2. Connect the stoboscope according to the manufacturer's instructions. 3. Start the engine and increase the speed to 2500 rpm. In the viewing window between...

Charging system — general information
The charging system includes a generator, voltage regulator, charging indicator, battery, fuses and wires. The generator is driven by a belt from the engine shaft. The motor wiring includes short pieces of calibrated...

Charging system — control
1. Procedure for checking the system: A) check belt tension and condition ( see chapter 1 ) if necessary, replace the belt; b) check the tightening of the adjusting and fixing bolts of the generator; V) check the...

Generator — removal and installation
1. Disconnect the negative cable from the battery. 2. Tag and disconnect the wires from the generator. 3. Loosen the adjusting bolt and axle bolt nut, remove the belt. Pic. 17.3 Typical generator mounting 4. Remove a...

Voltage regulator and alternator brushes — replacement
1. Remove the generator ( see Section 17 ). 2. Remove the three rear cover nuts, nut and electrical contact insulator, and remove the rear cover. Pic. 18.2 Assembling the generator 1 - contact; 2 - back cover; 3 - brush...

Starting system — general information
The purpose of the system is to rotate the engine crankshaft at a frequency sufficient to start. The starting system consists of a battery, starter motor, starter relay and wires. The starter relay is attached directly...

Starter — control on the car
Note: Before diagnosing the starter, make sure the battery is fully charged. 1. If the starter does not rotate when the key is turned to the third position, make sure the gear lever is in the neutral position. 2. Check...

Starter — removal and installation
1. Disconnect the negative cable from the battery. 2. Tag and disconnect the wires from the starter. 3. Turn away bolts and remove a starter.

Starter solenoid — removal and installation
1. Disconnect the negative cable from the battery. 2. Remove the starter ( see Section 21 ). 3. Disconnect the thick wire from the solenoid. 4. Turn away bolts of fastening of the solenoid and remove it. 5. With the...
