Re: Generator Spinning
I think it is the wrong polarity. I spoke with the fellow I bought the cut out from and he thinks he sent me one for a T not an A. He's sending another one for an A which I'll try.

Re: Canadian Model A Info
It's not registered yet. It came off a ranch in a remote part of BC, reassembled in the mid-90's but never completed. I'm assuming something broke on it in life and it was taken apart so parts could...

Re: Tail light Wiring
I wonder if it would be easier and cheaper to source a new early 28 wiring harness for the lights etc. as opposed to sourcing a new column.

Re: Tail light Wiring
The car is supposed to be a '29 however I do know it was re-pieced back together out of a number of barns and a field in a remote cattle ranch. So I'm guessing it's a combination of a coupe of years....

Gents, I greatly appreciate all your assistance and knowledge. I believe have hooked it up correctly now with one side to the output of the generator and the other to the battery.

Re: Generator Wiring
Thanks Marshall. The issue I’m having is I can’t find a pic with the cutout that is on my generator. I have seen plenty with the cylindrical style, but not mine so I’m unsure how to wire this one.
