placing the wire be sure to use a non-corrosive
soldering flux when soldering the wire to the con-
tact sle<'ve.
Ea rly production vehicles do not have a horn
button cap retainer. The retainer may be installed
in the field. To install, coat the outside of the horn
button cap and the inside of the retainer with
liquid soap, and push the ret ai ner into place over
t he cap. The flanged end of the retainer should
be placed down. F or current production h orn
button, see Fig. 172.
1- 77 . Direction al Sign als
Fig . 1 73 shows t he wiring of a composite directional
signal circuit. The most frequent causes of failure
in the directional sign al system are loose connec-
tions and burned-out bulbs. A flashing rate
a pproximately tw i ce the norm al rat e usually in-
dicates a burned - out bulb in the circuit.
When trouble in the signal switch is suspected it
is advisab le to make th e following test to definitely
locate the trouble before going to the effort of
removing the signal switch. If, for example, the
ri ght rear stop light and right front parking light
are inoperativ e and switch failure is indic a ted,
first put t he control lever in neutral position. Then

disconnect the wire to the right side circuit and
touc h it to or bridge it to the '' L" terminal, th us
by-passing the signal switch. If the right side cir-
cuit lights, the signal switch is inoperative and
must be re p laced.
1-78. Major Electrical Component
Repla cem e nt
• Au to-L ite and Delco-R emy Comp o nents
Wi th the exception of the generator and voltage
reg u lator, Auto- L ite and Delco-Remy electrical
components may be intermixed on a particular
vehicle as an approved production practice. No
attempt should be made to convert to a complete
Auto - Lite or Delco - Remy system. Auto-Lite com-
ponents should be replaced by Auto- L ite com-
ponents and Delco-Remy comp o nents should be
replaced by Delco - Remy components insofar as
availability of replacement co mponents will allow.
In those cases, however, where a component is
being replaced with one produced by the other
manufacturer, the following points should be noted.
a. Generator - If an Auto-Lite generator is being
installed in place of a Delco-Remy generator, in
addition to replacing the voltage regulator (see
caution below) a different support bracket will have
to be installed. It is not practical to change from an
Auto - Lite to a Delco - Remy generator as a differ ent
engine front plate is required.
C AUTION: Do not intermix an Auto-Lite and a
Delco - Remy generator and voltage regulator.
Gener ato r and volta ge regulator must be either
both Auto-Lite components or both Delco - Remy
components.
b. Voltage R egu lator - Wh en an Au to- Lite voltage
regulator is installed as a replacement for a Delco-
Remy regulator, in addition to replacing the
generator (see caution below) the ada pter plate
used with the Delco-Remy installation is discarded.
As the terminals (BAT, . FLD, etc.) are in a different
location on Auto-Lite regulator as opposed to
t he Delco- Remy regulator, identify the wires as
they are removed so they may be reinstalled on the
proper te r minals of the new regulator. See Fig. 154
and 155.
CAUTION ; Do not intermix an Auto- L ite and a
Delco - Remy generator and voltage regulator.
Generator and voltage regulator must be either
both Auto-Lite components or both Delco - Remy
components.
c. Distributor - No special instructions are re-
quired for interchanging Auto- L ite and Delco-
R emy distributor s on th ese models.
d. Starting Motor - No sp ecial instructions are
required for intercha n ging Auto-Lite and Delco-
R emy sta r ting motors.
