Opinion on wiring
I wanted to run this by everyone. I will be attempting to to see if this motor will run. 12v neg. ground, hot wire to resistor then to (-) coil, (+) coil to ignition switch, switch to distributor. I won't be able to try it until after all the time up parts arrive, does this seem correct? This is onlyto see of it'll fire (hotwired)Thank you!

The way you have it is for a negative ground system. It would probably start the way you have it wired but you will get a hotter spark if it is wired correctly. Last edited by Y-Blockhead; 04-08-2020 at 01:30 PM. |

Re: Opinion on wiring
Yes... Always remember, points are to ground. So - ground, - side of coil to points. + ground, + side of coil to points.

Re: Opinion on wiring
Thanks for that compliment Gerry...( no doubt some inaccuracies will be pointed out! ) I forgot to add the key to Fig 2 Possible Changes...
1. Polarity may have been changed. 2. It may be now 12 volts . 3.A fuse may be present 4. The wire to the coil may be avoid the ammeter ( as didi the very early Model As) 5and 6. wires to ammeter may be switched if polarity has been changed . 8. An ignition switch may have been inserted between junction box and coil. 9. A ballast resistor may be present.. 10. The wires on the coil may be switched, 11. The pop out switch may have been replaced 13. “Modern” points which have the condenser on the upper plate may have been fitted |
