Battery Jumping Question

Sorry, but this is a bit like yesterday's post. It sounds like it is OK to jump a Model A with all original components (i.e. generator, 6 volt positive ground, etc.) witha 12 volt car or truck battery. Is this true as long as you match polarities?

Thanks!

Re: Battery Jumping Question

Yes, just do it quick. Don't hook up until someone else can be ready to start the car. Best done as a two man job. Disconnect as soon as the "A" starts.

Be sure all lights are off and that you don't have any solid state electronics, like ignition or voltage regulation.
