Thanks for the field coil data Herb . I guess the best thing for me to do is take the starter apart and check out how everything is wired up. I agree with everyone about keeping the orig 6volt in place. I purchased this car after it was converted with a new altenator etc. I did convert to...

The Model A that I purchased had been converted to 12v. The compression is excellent, but the engine seems to turn over to fast when it is cranked. I have three questions. 1. Does the cranking RPM's change with a 12v field coil in the starter.? If so will it be slower or faster? 2. Is there...

My A was converted to 12v before I purchased it. Not sure if the started was converted, or if this will make a difference. (now can I tell) The engine has great compression and the engine runs like a top. When the starter pedal is engaged it seems as if the bednix slams into the flywheel and...

My A has been converted to 12v before I purchased it. The Engine has good compression and runs well. The problem is that the cranking speed is very very fast. I installed a modern bendix,but I'm afraid that I will chew up the starter or the flywheel when it slams in as the started is engaged...

Does anyone out there know the correct proceedure that one would use to determine if shims are need between the starter and the bell housing. I guess one way would ne to look at the gears and see how they are wearing. I purchased a modern bendix for my car after I converted to 12v and...

I'm looking for a Buell Explosion for my Model A . Although all of the part houses seem to carry them in their catalog none of the suppliers have them in stock. Maybe they stopped making them? If anyone out there has one in good condition with the model A spark plug fitting I would...
