I threw out the instructions, but I remember there being some information on devices made prior to x date. Contact Genie directly on their site I believe they have information in PDF to help you with this question.

Yes, that's what I replaced. Colors matched wire for wire... Put some insulation in the wall behind it if you can. Night and day difference in efficiency,

Look at the motor you need to replace and determine the wire color. The clock wise motors have one wiring color, the counter clockwise another color. Just use caution when ordering. I am still waiting on my order from the company it has been almost 90 days. The company simply says "stay patient, we're shipping from Hong kong".

You need to splice the oem hot wire of the old distributor to the new wire that goes to the BATT side wire coonector of your new distributor .,if u have more questions u can call or text me to my phone . 479-414-7825 . Dave. Hope info helps. It's good that you are replacing old points dist. You will have plenty of firewall clearance. I did that to my old 73 monte I used to have.

I tried to use the old one and it did not work. You will have to use the new cable to connect the evolution kit.

Well your kind of lucky because I just realized both of mine are wired like that. I followed the wiring instructions and I seem to have the same problem. Something is backwards and coincidentally I was going to look into it today. I really thought I had it right the first time around. Oh well. If you find the answer let me know , I'll do the same.

I received the exact model shown and it matches(size and wires) the ones in my house. The plug for the wires is tee shaped as are the plugs that were installed in my house. They are a direct replacement and I did not change the wires. This model is an upgraded version(new hush feature). My house was built in 2000. If your house is older, you may have to splice in the new plug(tee) that comes with the detector.

Although I can not be 100% certain, I have looked at both installation manuals and the wiring is exactly the same as to the color of the wires from the unit. In the diagrams, the wiring connector that plugs in to the units looks exactly the same. The only thing that would not make changing units as simple as unplugging the 6430 and plugging in the 6438 is if the connectors are different. I think there is a very high probability that the connectors are the exact same since they are both Dual and would order the 6438 as a replacement.

I am sorry. I don't remember. However, I do know that the switch I took out was split. Luckily, it had a part number on it. I matched this number and I relied on the picture to make sure that my old switch and the new one were identical. They were and the new switch worked fine. I was actually for a friend.

Crutchfield.com sells the proper conversion if you do not want to cut and solder the connections. It is just two wires and not a big deal to cut and solder or wire cap new wires.

Cables may be different ( cable #479) but you can change them for about $30. Look at a picture on line of the 479 cables to see if the ends are the same as yours.My cables had been upgraded on my 1974 at some time.You will also need to splice the 6 wires from the control box, because the harness is different. This is easy, all the wires are color coded the same on the new and old model.This control box is super duty with all metal gears. It's a serious upgrade compared to the old omc boxes.

i recommend that you take the unit apart and remove the existing switch. once you have it out, try a place like grainger, bring the switch with you and see if you can match it up. you might get lucky at an electronics house as well.

I am in the same situation this morning! Did you find out anything? Thank youI just talked to my Dad. He said he can open it up and then sodder the wires back together.

I guess I wasn't clear about the wires. This would be so much easier if I could upload a picture. There needs to be a wire for power to the new unit. That's the issue. If there is none such coming out of the opener to connect to the new receiver, you need the power transformer I mentioned. I'd almost bet you need it, given the wires you mentioned. Still cheaper than a new opener.

It's stupid.. Was there a resistor in your original unit (there was in mine). If so, you have to solder it in series with the wire that goes from one side of the unit to the other. Just look at the wiring diagram. Since I can't open mine and don't have the instructions, you just have to follow the diagram. Sorry I can't help more.

We were replacing one that was 14 years old and had to rewire it. The plug on the new one is not the same as the old one. It was a simple re-wire though. We did not know of any adapter.
