If it was \n mine I would normal it up the way the 67 was originally wired to eliminate future headaches. \n Once you make up your wiring diagram the way it is wired now, you will see all the \n un-necessary wiring.

Feb \n 10, Walt Couch , Feb 10, Joined: Feb 2, Messages: Chris, you are correct. I do have a coil on the \n engine. On the back of the ignition switch it goes to the terminal block, and then to the coil. I \n would like to say thank you to all for contributing and for the information. Just a little while ago I \n got to drive the Jeep around the block for the very first time. It's far from perfect, but I'm about \n done with it. Found a few things to fix, brake light, speedometer cable, and fuel gauge. Enough \n talking, I know everybody loves pictures. Kyle Turnage , Feb 10, Feb 11, Good looking jeep.

Feb 2, Joined: Feb 2, Messages: Hello all, this is my first post on here. I have tried \n searching, but no avail. I am working on my dad's CJ5 v6 and I am Having trouble with the \n starter wiring. I have a few manuals and have studied them with little help. The diagrams are \n unclear to me. I have a red wire, green wire, and a purple wire going to the starter. Where does \n each wire go on the starter? The starter was lost and I have replaced it with one from the auto \n part store. Please help, I am Toyota guy trying to help my dad get his Jeep back on the road \n after being parked for 5 years. Kyle Turnage , Feb 2, Joined: Oct 25, Messages: 5, If you trace \n the wires you will see where the electricity goes when the switch is closed or open. You may \n find it easier to make it work if you use the same switch that you replaced. Joined: Sep 29, \n Messages: Look about halfway down the page. It should answer your question. Uncle Vin , Feb \n 2, Kyle Turnage likes this. Thanks for the help Uncle Vin! I'm also intrigued by this ignition \n switch. It has a left, center, and right position. It's not a typical ignition switch that has a \n cranking position that returns to the run position when the engine is started. When I crank the \n engine over the armature is staying engaged to the flywheel and solenoid has 13 volts. Post a \n photo of the back of the switch. Maybe a member can assist. Joined: Nov 5, Messages: It seems \n the switch you have is for a push button or floor mounted start button. You probably have the \n starter wired correctly, the switch could be leading you down the wrong path. Good luck. \n Oldriginal86 , Feb 2, So currently on the ignition switch; the left position does nothing, the \n center position does nothing, the right position cranks, fires, and runs. But, the armature is \n staying engaged to the flywheel. I've shimmed the starter and have checked my tolerance to \n ensure it's not engaging too far or too deep into the flywheel. No grinding noises either. I'm not \n scared of wiring. I'm just confused by this style ignition switch. It's new to me. On the ignition \n switch there is one terminal that has nothing connected to it. Photo 1 Then there is a terminal \n that has a wire just hanging from it. Photo 2.

You are saying your switch doesn't go far right and then spring back? \n Does just turning it to the right cause the engine to start? If so it is definitely the wrong switch. \n The floor button on the left is for the high beams. Glenn , Feb 2, That is correct Glenn. There is \n no far right that springs back to right position. Turning to right position causes the engine to \n just crank. I believe this to be the original ignition switch, but I could be wrong. I will see if the \n auto part store has an ignition switch. My dad did make a new dash right before he parked the \n jeep. He says that he labeled with them and ensured that they were plugged in correctly, but it \n hasn't been started since then due to a clutch that had failed. That is definitely the wrong \n switch.

Uncle Vin , Feb 3, So I put some \n lithium grease in the switch and have freed up the return spring on it. So the switch is now \n going from far right position, springing back to right position. But now I've got the volt meter \n hooked up to the purple wire currently disconnected from the jeep so it doesn't turn over the \n starter in the far right position I am getting 12 volts, then when it springs back to right position, \n it still has 12 volts. Looks like there must be a mixed up wire on the ignition switch. Anybody \n have any pictures of the back of their switch? Or a better diagram for the switch?
