The Ford Barn - View Single Post - OD not working on '53 Ford 3-spd w/R10

Kens 36, to your questions re: voltages:
volts at the battery = 6.28 (new Optima)
volts at fuse, solenoid out point on relay, and at wire to solenoid connection = 5.68

You mentioned that a drop of a few 1/10ths is critical. How does a 0.6v drop strike the community?

(I think I know the answer and what to do next.)
