Re: 12 volt Battery in Battery Box
Made my own hold down. Saw it here on the Forum. It is a curved piece of round steel rod with washers welded to the end to attach to the battery box hold down. Used wooden spacers to position the...

Re: "Flickering" low bean headlights
My own opinion of the vendors selling load equalizers is hog-wash. Using a LED bulb instead of a regular bulb is like putting in a much smaller bulb and reducing current draw. It is probably...

Re: 12v from 3 brush Ford generator
My only concern about the Fun Projects Voltage Regulator is that it regulates the output of the generator and not the generator field itself. You adjust the output of the 3rd brush to get 8 to 10...

Re: 12v from 3 brush Ford generator
After repolarizing the generator, the battery becomes the limiting factor on how much voltage the generator produces. You must have a battery! If you do not have this load will burn out the bulbs...

Re: Polarizing a generator
When you motored the generator, it should have been enough to get the armature magnetized, probably not as much as shorting across the cutout with piece of wire for a very short time when attached to...

Re: AAOOGAH horn regulator
First, are you running 6V or 12V? Adjusting the horn would be the first step if running a stock 6V system. The dropping resistor could be added if running a 12V system.

Re: 12 volt
If has a 12V battery installed, most likely changed to negative ground as others have stated if you have an alternator. The generator will work either way if polarized correctly.
You can make the...

Re: Question ????
I always carry one in every car. Never had to use them. Also verify the status frequently to be sure they are still charged and ready to use. Nothing like needing one and not working!

Re: 29 Tudor electric wiper
Just to make sure the motor works, check with an additional ground wire to a real frame ground. Not just some where on the body. If you have 6 Volts at the motor from the harness, then check the...

It is a single wire alternator. If it is the early Delco, you can easily get 35 Amps. The two terminals you allude to are for the field and remote voltage sense. The regulator that is used in the...

Re: Generator noise, '30 Tudor
There was a video out not long ago about some young guys that replaced the engine oil with WD-40. The engine finally seized. Definitely WD-40 is not a lubricant.
