- | On Datsuns equipped with an electric [[Automatic Choke]], a relay is used so that the choke heater is activated only when the engine is running.

- | As soon as the choke heater gets hot, it comes off the choke. If your engine is cold, you won't be able to restart it. For example, if you listen to the radio for a couple of minutes before starting the engine, and mistakenly put it to IGN, then the car won't start on a cold day. To prevent this scenario, the relay only powers the choke when the engine is running. The alternator provides a signal when the engine is running. It is the Neutral Sense wire (N wire). This is a weak signal so a relay is used. | + | = Late-model Alternator = |

- | For cars without a choke relay, you can simply hook the choke up to the Hot side of the ballast resistor -- it seems to work fine. The only downside I've observed is when you can't get the engine started right away, the choke heats up while you are trying - on cold days you may never get it started. So using the alternator output and a relay is a better idea. | + | |

Current revision
Early 1200 use Alternator with external Voltage regulator. Later 1200s (from 1981) use an Internally Regulated (IR) Alternator.
Contents |
Overview
B110 alternator is 35A and has plastic cover on back
1980s 1200 is still 35A but uses internal regulator (IC REG)
Both use the same T-connector, but IC REG alternator socket is additionally notched
Datsun used the simple T-connector, but the NipponDenso C900 style can also be used. The locking tab prevents the connector from falling out.
Early 1200
Our Datsun B110 used -- as with most 1964-1974 cars -- an Alternator with external Voltage regulator.

Late-model Alternator
Datsun 1200 from 1981 (Japan-market models) use an internally-regulated Hitachi LR Alternator or equivalent. The LR135 has LS wiring like many modern Japanese alternators. The L-terminal goes to the CHG lamp, and the S-terminal goes to either IGN or straight to the battery.
Using in Older 1200
The LR135 is a bolt-in replacement for the LT135 BUT you must modify the wiring slightly.
See main article: IR Alternator Conversion Wiring
Engine Swaps
See main article: Basic Alternator Wiring
How the Alternator Dash Light Works
The dash lamp is connected to IGN +. The other side goes to the "L" terminal of either the external regulator or alternator. A relay turns the dash lamp on/off.
- When the alternator is not putting out current, the "L" terminal is at ground/earth, so the dash light turns on
- Once the alternator starts putting out current, the "L" terminal is at full voltage, so the light turns off (both sides of the light are at same voltage)
WARNING: If the dash lamp is burned out, the alternator does not work. The lamp circuit is used to start the alternator.
External Regulator
The dash lamp is connected to IGN +. The other side goes to the "L" terminal of the external regulator. A relay inside the Voltage Regulator turns the dash lamp on/off.
- When the alternator is not putting out current, the "L" terminal is at '-' voltage, so the dash light turns on
- Once the alternator starts putting out current, the "L" terminal is at + voltage, so the light turns off (both sides of the light are at +)
This also is connected to the F (field) connection of the alternator, so it "turns on" the alternator. It is the switched 12V (through the lamp) that kick starts the alternator fields.
Internal Regulator
Internally regulated Hitachi LR alternators (S-L type) use the L terminal to turn the dash lamp on and off, using a transistorized switch inside the alternator.
Automatic Choke Relay
On Datsuns equipped with an electric Automatic Choke, a relay is used so that the choke heater is activated only when the engine is running.
