wiring 225 1970

need a better wiring diagram does any one know were i may find one . need to know on the coil positive green or red , and wiring for alt i think i did right but would some one send me a picture or tell me the correct way . because i was stupped and didn`t take a picture ,buy the way im rebuilding a 70 cj5 i bout from a junk yard one owner its all origanal 225 v6 t14 3speed i think a 20 tranfer case . please help !!!!

 

Should be a dana 18 transfercase. If the rear driveshaft is offset to the passenger side instead of centered it is an 18 if it is centered its 20 (not likely) as this would have to have been swapped in. The coil wire I'm not sure of, I think it was green, rewired mine years ago as that wire was cut and replaced.

 

the diagram on that page dont have the heater or ampmeter and many other stuf on it

 

The ampmeter was not factory on a 1970 model, it was dealer installed so there is no diagram with it in it. The heater I also believe was still an option.
Actually the diagram is complete for a bone stock cj5 of 1970 vintage. Everything beyond that diagram (except maybe the heater) was a dealer installed option. The renegade and tuxedo park models were the only exception

 

I just rewired my '70 225/T14/D18 using that diagram exclusively. Personally, I think it is better than any you'll find in the aftermarket manuals; not sure about the factory manuals, though.

You won't need to worry about the heater at this point in order to wire up your alt.

Not sure about the ammeter - mine didn't come with one. There is an idiot ight in the speedo cluster. If that is what you're talking about, then refer to the picture below. You just need one wire going from the bottom left terminal to the appropriate spot on the back of the speedo. This wire may possibly be brown on your jeep. Also wire in the red wire coming from your voltage regulator to the same terminal.

The green wire at the top terminal in the picture goes to the voltage regulator.

The black wire from the voltage regulator goes to the ground terminal on the right hand side in the pic.

The middle left terminal in the picture should get a larger, probably red, wire that goes to the starter. There should also be a wire going from that terminal to the dash that provides headlight and ignition switch power.

Coil should just just be one wire coming from the ballast resistor mounted to the fire wall connected to one side of the coil. The other side of the coil gets a short wire to the distributor.

EDIT - Please do not pay any attention to the duct tape in the picture.

 

thanks didnnt know that they were options i just thought that all 70 jeeps had the same thing didnt think sorry .

 

I am running into the same problems... the Renegade came stock (from factory) with ammeter and oil pressure gauge, along with "curtousy lights" which makes the part of the wiring diagram in all the aftermarket books (which I believe are just reproductions of the shop manuals anyway) a little off base in the wiring between the instrument cluster and the alternator and the alternator and the starter (also the ignition switch and the main light switch)

All three books I have (Haynes, Chiltons and Moses Ludel's Rebuild book) show the same drawing (one with side marker lights and one without) but none show A)Color codes or B) the aforementioned gauges etc.

I am working on a modified drawing with color codes that is specific to the Renegade I ( because that's what I have).

Since my Renegade was only owned by my dad and one other guy (for a short time) then parked for 30+ years... nobody much had time to 'customize' the wiring. Taking these factors into account... my jeep is particularly well suited for the Renegade wiring diagram that I am working on... don't get me wrong, it's still a very frustrating proposition.

Wish me luck!

Good to hear. I was thinking of doing the same but it'll be easier for you because your wiring seems relatively unmolested.
