Re: Powerhouse Genny Charge/Discharge

Thanks all! I am going to look into bulb wattage and perform some electrical measurements. I’ll be out of town for a week, so it may be a bit.

Re: ford 9n and model a motor

I’ll second that! I had a ‘49 8N and hated it for all the same reasons. Hence, the past tense…

Re: Wayne Carini A-400

I agree. I drive my ‘28 Tudor here in the dry 113°+ Sonoran Desert in AZ regularly. No A/C, but windows down and plenty of water.

Re: So you have an all original car...OK...

Mine had almost 9/16” play (Yikes!) and I bought a leakless pump with the correct end play. I just installed it yesterday.

Re: Fuse....

I had a similar issue and found my horn wiring grounded as the leads to the brushes were touching the horn motor housing.
