Sorry, that wasn't my intention, I was just trying to explain why I was using the high amp alternator.

This is interesting, I just have a single v belt that goes around the crankshaft, the two water pumps, and the alternator. It was the same setup the previous owner was using with a 35amp alternator. Would the crankshaft not be spinning the belt at the same speed regardless of what size...

This is something I didn't realize, and it shows that I need to do some more research on my own. I just assumed that 12v was twice the power of 6v as I've been told (and the previous owner used them) to put voltage reducers going to the gauges to insure that they don't fry. The 100 amp might...

Very good to know, every wire is being replaced, I was just worried about burning out the switch. I've done a decent amount of fabrication and body work, but wiring, beyond audio, is pretty new to me. Luckily I pulled the original harness out that the previous owner modified so I am able to...

This is great information thank you, My main concern is whether that factory ford light switch at the bottom of the steering box can handle 12v without a voltage reducer

The load was 35 amps. I have since upgraded the alternator and it is now 100amps coming from the alternator. However I am not sure exactly what the draw is from the battery. But i did look it up and it seems to be around 200-300 amps from a quick google search (it has a 51 mercury Flathead in...

Correct, but before the alternator was only pushing a maximum of 35 amps, and now it can push a maximum of 100 amps. My concern is that under a larger load that might damage the starter switch or in worst case create a fire hazard.

My 36 doesn't have a dash light knob (at least I haven't seen one). The way you select the lighting is on the steering wheel by turning a dial that surrounds the horn button. depending on where you turn it that's what selects park lights/high beams/low beams. The horn rod goes all the way down...

The car is very much not stock and I think would fall more into the "Hot Rod" category. It has a later model Flathead, juice brakes, chopped, a trunk conversion, among other things. However I would like to use the factory light switch with the steering wheel if at all possible, and the part...

I've got a 1936 ford coupe that I've been rebuilding from basically ground up. I am at the point now where I'm trying to sort out the wiring harness. I have an E-Z Wiring 21 harness and am trying to figure out what to do for the light switch as the way the kit is set up for lighting is much...
