It was the battery. 6.2 volts fully charged but failed the load test. I know new cars but the old stuff is a learning curve for me. I’m grateful for this forum and all the help I get here! Thanks guys!!

Thank you Steve. I will.

I ran a 12 gauge wire from the regulator battery terminal to the battery with no change.

Thanks Kevin. The voltage was climbing so maybe I should test it again. You may be right on the battery. Charge volts at 2000 rpm go to 7.2-7.3 if I pull the cable off and read voltage at the cable.

I haven’t checked but if it’s only charging 6.6 I can’t imagine it would be fully charged. I can charge the battery and a week later it cranks fast.

With the field connected to the armature it charges 7.5 volts. Checking at the battery with wires connected normally it only shows 6.6 volts. If I drive it until up to temp it will not start. Starter is new 2 years ago and has a heat blanket on it because my Fenton cast iron header is close...

Thank you. I know it has been modified. I was testing with my volt meter connected to the regulator battery terminal and ground at 2000 rpm. I will test it as you recommended and report back. Thanks again.

My 37 has a 2 brush generator and a voltage regulator. Generator mounted fan. It will only charge 6.7 volts with the battery connected but charges 7.2 with the battery disconnected. Having trouble starting hot. I called Whitney`s about an alternator conversion. Talked to Tom. Apparently His dad...

New old stock aftermarket 32 carburetor. As found. Still in box. includes new choke cable and air horn insulator gasket.

Yes. As well as a thick gasket that goes on the air horn.

I see.. So must be 32 only then?

That`s good to know. I gave very little for both items. Who knows.. Someone may need the carb.

I paid very little for these items so not getting hurt. Just curious. The ornament is identical to this one on ebay. I think it is cool and will keep it but if someone needs the carb I will help you out...

I know that.

Went to an auction today and came home with this new old stock carburetor and hood ornament. what can you tell me about them and what are they worth?

I use a group 2 battery from Oreilleys auto parts. Cranks my 85 hp 37 fast and starts well even after sitting for a month. It is a little taller but still fits well...

I have put 500 miles on the car with the national seals installed. Working great.

It is on the box in the picture. National 340835

I know this is not the proper fix but pulling the rear end apart is just not an option for me right now. Other projects call and it is spring. I found an old thread with a number for a seal and cross referenced it to this National number. It fit nice and I think it will do the job until next...

First of all.. I want to thank you guys for the sound advice on getting my brakes up to par. Got the Lincoln brakes from Boling brothers via Krylon32 today. Thank you Gary. Also got my rear hub puller from Vintage precision. Very well made tool. Pulled the rear drums and I have a bunch of gear...
