Power master seems to be the go to for this. A new one came with my rebuilt engine but I gave it away. I kept my 52 f-1 6v and just decided to stick with a FOMOCO generator. The truck is wired with...

Re: 1951 Ford, runs fine then runs bad.
I will take a shot here. You are saying the amp meter is going down; to me that means that the generator isn't charging the battery. Your car is shutting off cause you're running off of your battery...

Re: A jailbar woodie on Bring a Trailer
I wouldn't buy it just based on the one photograph of the phillips screws holding the data tag to the fire wall. That's enough right there to set me on my heels, but thats just me.

Re: Cowl lights on 33 pickup?
