AI caption · Photo 696 of 837

This is one page of a factory-style Ford wiring diagram covering the ignition and starting-related circuits for an 8-cylinder 351/400 engine with a breakerless (Duraspark-type) distributor. The schematic shows the breakerless distributor, breakerless ignition modulator, ignition coil (with a resistance wire noted as 1.05 to 1.15 ohms), a fuse link (526 BK-W), radio ignition interference capacitor, and the transmission gear shift neutral switch. Wire circuits are identified by number and color code, including 16 R-GR, 32 R-BL, 37 BK-Y, 526 BK-W, 297 BK-GR, 232 GR-Y, 732 W, 733 BK-GR, 734 O-Y, 735 P-BL, 904 GR-R, 138 W-P, 140 BK-R, 262 BR, and 198 BK. A right-hand legend column details connector locations and part numbers: C-323 (14289, breakerless ignition module on the L.H. fender apron), C-1015 (7E203/14401, backup lamp switch on the transmission housing), C-1201/C-1202 (14300/14301, auxiliary battery positive and negative terminals), and C-1203/C-1205 (14300/14A303, dual battery relay on the L.H. fender apron, aft). A reader can trace ignition circuit wiring, identify connector locations, and match wire colors/circuit numbers for troubleshooting.
