Looking to Get Started...

...........No doubt.

 

No doubt about it! Merry Christmas, TM

 

Crazy weather. I went for a roadster cruise yesterday and today. So much fun.

 

It was great weather! Glad you got to enjoy it.

 

Looking to rewire my 6v generator to 12v for both my Rusty Banger Roadster and my AV8 flathead. I have 2 or 3 6v generators laying around. I really don’t want to continue running alternators on my old traditional style rods. I’ve been doing searches. Lots of information out there. Lots of conflicting information. Also a lot of old broken links. I’m looking for a clear step by step process, a parts list, and where to order the parts. TM

 

Both of you guys are inspiration to the rest of the Hot Rod world.

 

6:1 Snyder’s Head for Ratty (the rusty roadster). Now to make it look like the original old head.

 

What do you mean “make it look like the original old head”?

 

Good question Oil Soup. I love this old banger roadster the way it is; however, I do want to give it some new life and a few more horses. So I’m going to do some upgrades to warm it up a bit and still try to keep the original barn find look. (Also read that as - no new shiny parts). TM.

 

That should be fairly straight forward if you have the matching green paint, the rust is easily duplicated.

 

Yeah. I still need to figure out the paint color. Agree that rust shouldn’t be a problem. I was told the old motors that color may be rebuilt motors from Montgomery Ward. Not sure.

 

Found this in a box of family papers. Ralph Long was my father. This could have very well been his first car.

 

So… I guess these old Fords are in my blood.

 

.............How cool is that!.....This is one that you absolutely need to keep forever. The boys will be the ultimate owners.

 

OOOPS!... I guess you just have the paper work, not the car itself. It's early, I'm still half asleep! It still is such a cool treasure. I would frame it for posterity.

 

Does anyone know what car this is?

 

Kind of has a Buick look. This one isn't exactly the same, though.

 

The geetar pickers are sittin on a 36 Chevy.

 

@alchemy seems correct to me.

 

Any recommendations on who I can talk with to learn how to wire a Model A 6v pos ground generator to 12v negative ground?

 

That is awesome! Thanks for your help!

 

Thanks Alchemy!

 

Mr. Monkey, can you take a picture of the "business side" of that 6:1 head please?
Wiring;
Key on power through ballast resistor to + coil. -coil to distributor.
And I run a 12v voltage regulator wired to a converted 12v generator. I looked up 12volt simple Wiring diagram and followed it.
Hope this helps

 

Wheeldog57 - I’ll post the head pic shortly. Yeah, I’m good with car 12v conversations. I’m looking to rewire the actual generator for 12v neg ground. I don’t want to run an alternator. I see that I can order the 12v windings. I believe I have to do some other work including the cut out…

 

That head is a beautiful work of art.

 

Thank you for the picture of the head.
I will look at my car later today and report back how my generator is wired up

 

Digging into Ratty the Roadster. Warming up the Banger. Clings adapter, 39 Transmission…

 

Still digging…
