I got a new bulb and i may have thrown out the housing. Still looking but unsuccessfully. Will add a pic or two. Hoping someone has one. I dont need the bulb, just the little housing and funky clips that hold in the bulb. Bought from joes antique auto parts in mass. I found out it is made...

Hello all, Long time. My car is all set thanks to many of you helping me out with all kinds of issues. I am currently helping my 79 tear old dad work on a 36 that he wants to put a 37 steering box in. We installed the box, lined up the bottom hole, slotted the middle hole slightly, and welded...

Mr. Tinker, I apologize, I have not done a good job asking and providing info on this post. That is what happens when you are asking questions for someone else who buys something you thought was something else. Anyhow. I am grateful for all your replies and am confident that we will be...

pic of the 4-post 6 volt positive ground solenoid(starter switch) to be installed. Of course there are no markings on the small terminals designating "+", "-", "S", "I", "R" or anything else for that matter. Brother states he installed with the same wires going to the same terminals as the...

--sorry, i typed "-" when i meant "+" ground. --why did it have a 12v solenoid? because someone installed it and converted (just the solenoid) to 6v to match the 6v truck. --I'm going to take a picture and post as soon as i can. Sorry for confusion. cp

u guys are killing me with this positive ground stuff...yes. the truck is original (positive ground). The solenoid we removed but was a converted 12v 4-post to run on 6volts. We want to replace the solenoid with a 3-post (as original). Thus we have an extra wire to coil. My 1st thought is...

we have an extra wire, I'm not looking at it, but I believe it may go to the coil. Truck is at bro's house. will be looking at this week, weather permitting. I guess Im asking, should it not be a 3-post (original) and if so, what to do with the coil wire. ? Then you get into negative...

I appreciate all the responses. I know one thing, I will never install the coil backwards again. Thank You so much.

you are correct as usual...the "Book" calls it a "Starter Switch". The suppliers call it a solenoid. Trying to get my jt together here.

part number 11450....or are you just teasing me....

call it a relay? I believe I spelled it correctly...they call it a starter solenoid with push button. I could be wrong....I could definitely be wrong.

We bought another 6v coil and all was fine and installed with the "+" to the distributor since truck is 6v "-" ground. Truck solenoid started clicking recently. I have been unable to find a wiring diagram for a 1939 pu. Van pelts does not show. All part suppliers show the solenoid as a...

Tried to search to no success. Replacing an original 6v positive ground coil with a new 6v coil. Old coil is for dummies like me. One terminal says battery and the other says distributor. The new coil says "+" and "-". I thought the "+" would go to the battery even though + is ground. It...

Looking for original 36 fuel sender. Thank you
