The Ford Barn - View Single Post - New Cut-Out Relay . . . Not so good.

Good afternoon...In the 1960's we used to drive our cars with the cover off of the cut-out so that if the damn thing stuck closed when we shut down...we jumped out...opened the hood and used a pop cycle stick to open the points, the stick lived in the corner of the wind shield where we could grab it as we jumped out! Today I run an alternator and a gel battery...the hell with the generator and cut-out. I'm pretty traditional...but not that much so...Ernie in Arizona
