Wiring help for Burnout car -351C with C4 in XE Falcon.

[Outback Jack 6,352]

Hey guys, well as usual, I get called in to fix up another dodgy wiring job. This one is an XE 351 Burnout car I need to get running.

I was just wondering if I list whats in the car and what is running on it , if someone may have a simple wiring set up for it.

I can't even get the thing to turn the starter motor with the wiring in there now, it's a joke.

 

Ok, heres what we have:

XE Falcon- wiring basic for Burnout car.

351C  motor- 2 wire alternator

C4 gearbox with selector position switch.

Battery re-located to boot.

 

Problem is she won't start, I think it's the wiring.

Have put a screwdriver across the starter motor and she wound over.

It has a Gearbox selector/neutral switch and somehow that, or the way the starter is wired is wrong.

 

Also the coil was getting super hot, so think we may need a ballast resistor in the line from the Ignition to the Coil.

There is also no relay for the starter motor, which seems odd to me.

Also, the "Kill switch" does not cut out Jack shit, but I can sort that.

 

I have Fuel pump switch working, Thermo fan working.

All I really need is correct wiring for the starter motor with C4 auto and gearbox switch and just the general motor wiring including alternator.

The manuals are good, but made for a factory wired car, not a Burnout stripped out one.

Any help greatly appreciated.

 

Cheers, Jack.

when you try and start it does the relay on the starter motor get hot.

 

Mine was doing it for a while found just dirty terminals on the starter

also can you just run a push button start on a separate circuit.

Cheers Anthony, Yeah we have push button start mate, and there is no relay on the starter set up which is one of the things I want to change as i think the auto neutral switch should be connected to one.
