the last you wrote is Cord... GCO 4804 A and this is it, but from a later 812 or so? is there a wiring plan for this version? any measuring for the correct clamp to fit it on the engine? I would realy like to awake my cowl fill for the oil (water seems impossible without the correct right thermostat housing and the end of the pipe being shortened behind the wrong ignition coil)Curt Schulze wrote: I could not find a GCO4804 in my 1948 Auto-Lite Service Parts Catalog . The closest I can come is a GCO 4803A which is 37-39 Packard.
It shows CORD GAR4603-5 GBR4603-5 GBR4603-4 GCO4804A The GAR4603 will interchange with Auburn.

"remember the generator must send voltage

As for the choke power feed in the wire diagram, I feel it is correct. Even with the wire running to the startix its correct. Please remember the generatormust send voltage to the startix internal solenoid to keep the starter from engaging. Inside the startix we have two solenoids. If power is cut off to the running side solenoid then the start side solenoid engages so the starter can try to run the engine up till the generator is putting out enough voltage to change the power away from the starting side. This is one of the reasons some Cords will try to start when the rpm gets too low or the generator stops sending out voltage. It sounds complex and looks like it can't possibly work but it works very well.Surprising technology for 1936 cars. The startix actually was in several cars before the 36 or 37 Cords had it. Auburn's used is as did Pierce Arrows.

I think for the choke I have to find a negative wire that is "hot" when the engine is running. Next step I will open the regulator housing and hope there is some writing in it. And perhaps I can find the connection to the startix where the cable insulation is rather broken.

Am not sure where the chock wire is to be connected. My 37 car has the manual chock controlled from the dash center quadrant by a toggle as original design.

the cable is connected to the generator at the same contact, that stops the startix if I´m right. But in complete difference on my car the generator does have a seperate regulator, where do I have to mount my choke-heater-cable?
Even worse the generator is mounted far on the passenger side so that the oil fill can not be connected.
just disconnected
