None of the equipment in picture above is present so I will cap off the green with eye (heat shrink) as well as the 2 (?) G/R pairs. I did find a red cable not connected at the OD/EC control. The shop had labeled it "governor". Guess that can be capped as well.
Have traced out the OD lockout switch wiring located on lockout cable next to wheel. One wire going to the accelerator switch at carburetor (carburetor switch) black/red tracer. Haven't traced the other one yet.
ohmed out the wiring from generator to voltage regulator and all seems fine.
Still a bit confused from Big Kev's wiring diagram as it has an "ignition" switch (key)to coil, also has a "starter switch/car starter" along with a "throttle switch"
Guessing throttle switch and carburetor switch are the same but wondering what the "starter switch is referring to. The diagram resembles the carburetor switch in configuration and wiring but.....
Also, the carburetor switch shows continuity with minor resistance prior to advancing throttle linkage...? seems a bit odd.
In another week, I do have the owner of my local car shop who has agreed to spend a morning or afternoon sorting thru the starting issue. He has a '38 Packard that is about 90% restored and is somewhat familiar with the brand at least. Just trying to get as many questions answered as possible prior to that. Thanks for your patience.
