70 six pack idle solenoid wiring.

[BrianShaughnessy]

Does anybody know where the idle solenoid is energized from on a 70 six pack car?   Apparently the wire is built into the stock 70 six pack wiring harness and also a repro M&H harness.

I have to wire up something like this on my 69 but the 69 6 pack solenoid harness is an add on to the old style volt. reg that I don't use since I converted to electronic ignition and new alternator / volt reg.   

In the interest of no hack job wiring I'm supposing I could get a 70 6 pack harness (electronic ignition modified) to work on a 69 also?  I don't know of any major differences in the engine harness.

The solenoid can be wired to any ignition switched 12V source such as the blue wire on the voltage regulator and the ballast resistor.

Thanks John.

   I was looking for the factory method for '70 ...  which now I'm told is to one of the field connections on the back of the alt.   One is +12 when ignition is on,  and the other is +12 only when the engine is running....  It should be hooked to the one that's hot when running only.   That should be the green lead... makes sense now

70 diagram shows it off the alt- dark blue one-
green is the feild wire from the reg!!

:shrug:    crap... now I know that... which is contrary to what I learned yesterday.   I want a lead that's hot when the engine is running to run a electric choke.   I just tried it on the car and the green lead is 0V with only ignition key on, engine off and 12V when the engine (ie: alternator) is running,  the blue is hot with ign on always.

from 71 engine wiring, but should it be the same to 70, since use same regulator and stuff

Note appart: Green wire is negative regulated source to alt brush that regulator send and takes from chassis.
