I have the regular headlight bulbs. The ammeter reads zero with everything off. I am not an electrical guro, if I check for a draw at the battery.......and find a draw......where would the problem be?

I have a 6 volt positive ground system with original generator and cut out - no alternator. I have replaced the battery about one year ago and since it needed to be charged in order to start. Ammeter shows appox. +4 when driving and -20 (pegs to left) with lights on in any position. I believe...

Make sure the points are set to .020. If they are closer it will backfire...if they continue to get closer than .020 it will get worse.

Thank you...exactly what I was looking for.

Looking for a picture of the leather choke grommet. Need to know how it is installed at the firewall along with the other grommet next to the choke spring. Any help is appreciatted.

I never adjusted the brushes. Any instructions?

I do not recall what it read before the new battery. Just beginning to wonder if it was just a dead battery or something draining it and thus it reads high.....????

Original generator and cut out - no alternator. It goes back to zero when it is stopped and still idling. Did not turn the lights on to see what happens. The last thing I changed was the battery.

I have a 6 volt positive ground system. The battery was dead and replaced and now the ampmeter on the dash reads 0 when idling and about 15 while driving. Is this normal or do I have something else wrong?

The mercury in my quail motometer is not solid, it has an 1/8" space in it about 1/8" from the top. How do I change the motometer without damaging the quail?

Wanted: 1930 or 1931 Cabriolet mostly complete and unrestored

Grapejuice - your way worked, but how do I get a smaller picture?

Use a trailer and put the car in gear and use some tie downs or come-a-longs to keep it secure.

It should be restored to original options and colors. If it is restored for resale it may not bring as much as a 1930 or 1931, but will look impressive.
