If one wanted to buy a 6 volt battery for a 34 Ford and was not concerned about original appearance, what amount of CCA should one look for? Any info. on how many CCA Ford had in their batteries back in 1934? Does anyone know the rating of the wire that goes from battery to starter, e.g. 4 awg...

Thanks guys!

Terry thanks for the clarification and info. I suspected the groove I see was from arcing wear. I suspect some of the wires may be original. It looks like they were steel core back then. Why do you prefer the original Ford terminals? On a side note, when I removed the vacuum line from the...

Thanks, I have removed to coil (which I assume is in the top part with the condenser). Is there anyway to test the coil to evaluate its condition? I also did not know the wires were soldered in. Any tricks on the best/right way to heat them up to be able to remove them? Thanks!

I have been looking at the ignition components on an inherited 34 flat head engine. I learned from this so I appreciate that. No resistor plugs and no resistance wire. If one wanted to add a radio someday is there a way to prevent the interference from the ignition? I have not taken the...
