When I aquired my 1930 Tudor it had a 12v battery and an alternator. All was good until I cranked it over a little longer than usual and the starter brush holders smoked away. I got the starter rebuilt and converted to 12v. approx $150.

In another case, I blew up the 12v battery. I think it was because I used the car to charge the battery without driving it and the hydrogen built up under under the floorboards.

The wiring was modified by an amateur and had a 30 amp inline fuse in the alternator output wire. The fuse blew and I temporarily wrapped tinfoil around it and it melted the fuse holder. Funny what 60 amps can do to a 30 amp fuse holder.

Lastly, even with the smaller pulley installed the engine must be reved up before it will start charging.

If a standard alternator is used it is + to alternator and - to ground and change the coil polarity.

I'm not sure about the horn because I haven't gotten to it yet, but don't lay on it.
