fair enough! haha I wasn't sure if i was missing parts. But if you guys are saying it bolts right to the pillar then thats what will happen! Thanks guys!

okay this makes sense that something should be coming off the drip tray and securing it. I know I'm being a bit of a pain but you wouldn't know what the part is called or have a picture would you?

Sorry yes i was asking about the outside visor, What are those two side screws being secured to though? i can't help but feel that I'm missing something. I understand that there will be a hole in the middle for the visor to secure it to the roof but on the sides should there be a drip rail or a...

Hey all! I'm back again to pick your brains. I recently purchased an original sun visor for my 53 ford customline however I bought it already removed from the car. I'm wondering if anyone has any idea how to secure the sides of the visor to the vehicle. I've tried searching but all of the...

Aside from body work and a speedo cable I think all the problems will be sorted out haha

A friend gave me his spare regulator this evening. Solved all the problems. Here's what the old one looked like, I'm thinking the cut out relay was toast as when excited nothing would happen. Also I figure I should finally post a picture of the car finally for you guys haha, I would like to...

Awesome thank you! I did do the jumper from the battery to field and it started charging like crazy but I didn't leave it on for long. Basicly just touch for a second see the needle go to one end and let go of the jumper.

At idle without lights in I sit at 6.1v once it revs up the most I've seen is 6.25v. lights on the needle shoots half way to "d".

Yes, I traced the wires and they trace to their proper locations

So examining the regulator at idle and under load, none of the contacts move. I have cleaned them with 400g sand paper but nothing. I did a quick jump on the back terminal of the gen and the field terminal and the ammeter pins to the charge side. So that brings me to believe my problems are in...

I will take a picture when i get home and post it. There's no adjustability through the cover though. On the side of each relay is a plate that bends 90 degrees at the top and has the contact at the end of it. near the bottom is a screw that sits in the slot of the plate that would allow you to...

I intended to do that tonight as well. I am fairly certain I have it correct however not 100%

When i had the cover off it looked like all three of the contacts had plates that could be moved for adjustment. however i'm not sure if they've been previously moved as the car has had the same symptoms since the begining of my ownership

They don't seem to be reversed. Negative on the battery is going to the starter, while the positive cable is connected to the engine block. From the looks of it the regulator and resistors all look almost brand new. The sticker on the cover seems to be faded however there's no pitting or...

Hello all. I seem to have an issue with the charging system on my 53' Ford Customline. It has a flathead in it and i have just replaced the generator with a new oem unit that has been tested by a reputable shop. I'm suspecting that my regulator (which is adjustable) is out of whack. However my...
