Default Re: Solenoid on a Model A

If you're gonna do this I would use a Ford tractor solenoid. Your push button is supplied current to the button. The other side of your button is tied to ground.

One of the large post on the solenoid will be marked BATT. The coil picks up current at that point and the other side goes to the little #10 post. Taking that post to ground pull the contactor down. It will be easier than finding a B+ supply for the solenoid.

Take a wire from the little post to one side of the switch, the other side of the switch goes to ground.
