I'm "cheating" here. This issue is on my 1940 LaSalle but I figured the theory and tests would all work the same. There is no cutout on this generator.

I AM a fan of the Fun Projects cut outs and have them on all three of my T's. My Model A came with an alternator so I haven't screwed with that since it is working just fine.

So many cars and so little time...
