Well, that's what it was. Wimpy battery cable. I went up to the welding store and got a big old piece of 2/0 welder ground wire and put it from the neg post of the battery straight to the starter switch, and without having a charger on the battery for the last two days, it started right up. This...

The battery is in the back Rumble seat floorboard area because the brackets under the drivers floorboard are rotted away. It's worked back there fine for quite some time, I just think I need to get a proper cable run from there to the starter.

54 Bomb, I think that you may have something there. Tom, that's a good way to test it too and thanks for the direction. Come to think of it, this makes a lot of sense. Especially considering that the battery is in the back jumpseat now. AND that the cable I used is 2 GA, but it was quite old. I...

Well, I put the re-built generator on there (with new cut off), hooked the charger on there (set to "Start", not "Charge") for ten minutes and it started right up. Before that I checked my two ground straps and they looked great. This battery I have on here right now is brand new and was checked...

Well, the battery charger says that the battery is fully charged, yet the horn just barely honked (and only once), and the lights are super dim. Wife just got back in our truck that has the spare re-built generator with new cut out sitting on the back seat, so I'm about to put that guy on and...

Thanks you for the help here guys. I tried taking one of the cables off of the battery to see if I could get it to spark and it didn't, so today I'll double check all of the ground straps and change out the cut out to see if this helps. Updated coming soon!.....

Hi there. Lately I've been having trouble getting stranded at my destinations:o . See, I think that my battery is getting drained from somewhere, or maybe it's something all together different, and I'm looking for some help or direction. Here's what I have: -1930 Model A coupe -Kind of stock 6...

Hi there. What is the basic criteria for spark plugs to work well with a stock Model A? Would any 14mm spark plug work? Just got me thinking about when I go to swap meets and see those big boxes full of neat old spark plugs from manufacturers long since forgotten. Would be neat to see some old...

Yes! Jim, thank you very much for the direction, and Skip, the cutout info and troubleshooting chart are awesome. Thanks to you guys for the help here. I just sent Tom a message about getting one of his regulators and hopefully I can get it on there in the next week or so.

Thanks Tom! Email on the way.....

A place for fellow Ford Barners to offer up their services would be great. Several folks on here make parts for old Fords that are superior to those you can find in the catalogs or online parts houses. On the old Barn, I was tipped to the A&L brake light switch and would not have known about it...

Thanks fellas for the help here. Jim Parker, do you have any contact information for Tom Wesenberg? I'd like to get one of those voltage regulators.

Hi there. I've got a mostly stock '30 coupe and am having charging problems and would like some opinions on how to remedy it. One week ago and always in the past, my ammeter showed great charging once started, sometimes indicating all the way positive. However lately, and all of the sudden...

Here's my daily driver. At least until it gets too hot.

It worked! Thanks Ryan...

Test again...

Nope.....try again later.

Maybe?.....
