While adjusting my rear brakes on a 31 Coupe I purchased almost intact after a frame off restoration, I noticed the anti-rattle springs were placed behind the welded knee on the rod. I have had problems with the brake pedal not fully returning and allowing the brake light to remain on. I...

Thanks.

I have a 31 Coupe with trunk. Is there a particular question regarding trunks you have?

What are the differences between the Model T and Model A starter bendix. I have a B model engine with a 12 volt starter. It got jammed and I had to remove the starter bolts to get the gear to retract. I noticed that my bendix unit had the spiral screw shaft to return the gear. In all the...

Problem solved!! Thanks to all who provided input. I disassembled the one I removed and confirmed that the coil was not grounded to the base. I had continuity from the S terminal to the I terminal. I attached a ground wire from the I terminal to the mounting screw from the base to starter...

Wow! I thought it was a simple electro-magnet that pulled a bridge across the two large terminals when powered. I purchased the relay only because it is a 12 volt 4 post relay with a curved base that matched the screw holes on the starter where the old push rod starter attached. I purchased a...

This is what I have except I have a stand alone start push button on the floorboard instead of routing through the ignition switch.

Great diagram Mike! I thought this relay was grounded through the mounting base and the I post was not used. This relay has 4 posts (2 large, 2 small) Small ones are marked S and I. Isn't the I post used only during start to supply a boost to the coil? I have electronic ignition by the way...

Have good circuits from battery to car and ground. Close the ground disconnect switch and lights, horn etc work. Push start button nothing happens. Checked start button normal open. pushed have circuit. Jump from relay battery terminal to starter post on starter and engine spins. Checked...

Installed my 6 volt horn with the horn resistor from Bratton's to work with my 12 volt system and pushed the horn button. After adjusting the screw on the back of the horn until just getting a good Ahoo sound, I let off the horn button. No Gaa All I get is Ahoo, Ahoo What Gives? Spartan...

I do not know since the motor has not been run yet. Is this a rebuilt Model A generator or maybe a 12 volt 1932 or later generator? Anybody know?

My 31 coupe has a model B engine that the previous owner partially converted to 12 volt. The generator looks like a Model A generator but has two wires comming from the hole where the original had a post. One small wire is grounded and the other is from the field brush. It is stamped B-7 on...

I just applied battery power to my 31 Coupe:). I have been wiring it since purchasing this spring. Have turn signals and headlights but the ammeter is wired backward:mad:. I have 12 volt halogen headlights and I get low beams on both lights but no high beams. I checked and have good circuits...

Sorry, my mistake. The dome light will be connected to the terminal box. I was confused because I decided to make the cowl lights dedicated turn signal lights and so will be connected to the turn signal harness and not the light bale. That wire will be terminated. Still need to run the rear...

1ea 14 gage wire from my starter batt terminal to the ignition switch dedicated with a 20 amp fuse for the electronic ignition. 2 ea 18 gage wires from the add on rear turn signal lights going to the turn signal switch on the steering column.
