Default Re: 1933 ignition resistor wiring?

Here's G.M.'s advice on rebuiloding the ignition switch. Thanks for this G.M, I found I'm loosing almost 2 vollts across the ignitioon switch.

By G.M.: The voltage at the switch with the switch on and the points open
should be within a couple 10ths of the battery voltage. The jumping
around indicates a bad connection or generator problem. I would take
the switch apart and with a small screw driver CAREFULLY bend the 3
little ball tabs out about .030 being careful not to lose the little springs.
Put 1000 sandpaper on a real flat surface and holding slight down
pressure sand the ball contacts so they have small flat spots on the
ends. Do the same with the other flat contact plate. This will be arced
and the plastic will have worn groves. Use 320 to get it down smooth
then 1000 to take the ruff sand marks out. The two smooth surfaces
when they come in contact will then have more contact area. It don't
seem like much but the sanding ridges reduce contact area.
