Re: Modified A will not Calihute Point bounce? Back in the 70's I got an optical kit for my Mustang V6 just to eliminate having to adjust the points. Should be one for a 4 cyl if they're still made.

Do not disconnect the generator from the battery and load or the generator will quickly destroy itself. Use a jumper across it like Bob's second method.

Add to Bob's fix, if you insulate the contacts you must also ground the generator output. Gen will burn up if run with no load. Grounding the output keeps it from developing damaging voltage.

Get the red bulb, it shines red through the amber lens which is more recognizable to other drivers.

Check the brake switch. Can short to the housing.

Piston compresses gas. Payload weight increases tire pressure.

Use 21 CP from the vendors. Ford offered 32 CP for highway driving, but 50 CP draws too much power for the generator to support.

Correct, I forgot there are 2 types, 1 filament between contacts an 2 between contacts and shell. 62417 is the one you need. Snyder's A-13464 (2 ea.) can be connected between each tail lamp and ground so the thermal flasher works. Electronic flashers are susceptible to ignition noise, causing...

ledlight.com 64218 should work, but you may need to add a ballast resistor like DF says.

Assuming standard positive ground system, attach red (positive) to ground and black (negative) to battery. 3 amps is for 12V supply, may need to use 5 amp fuse for six volts. I haven't seen Paul's video, but I assume also your mount isolates the socket housing from vehicle ground, otherwise it...

Re: Favorite LED Headlight’s? Only complaint I've seen is their weight. Bumpy roads distort the socket and they lose contact. Original socket mounting might be strengthened somehow.

AGM batteries are the same as flooded lead acid except the electrolyte is contained in Absorbent Glass Mat (AGM). Still need venting, usually through a tube to the outside in modern cars. They are also spill proof, so can be shipped as nonhazard material. Charge as usual.

I leave on 24/7. I trust the manufacturer to incorporate over temperature shutdown. I would think that would be a requirement, but who knows?

Mitch and Rylan's pissing match is stupid. Mom and Dad should kiss and make up for the benefit of us kids.

I use the same one as Shew01. Cheap, works. Randy's comment makes a good point. Keep it on 24/7, no problem

Other differences - bulb harness inside bucket has only 2 wires, connecting plug to conduit has 2 holes vs. 3, connectors are not crimped, conduit and cowl grommets are smaller, 1/2" vs. 9/16", column switch is soldered, not tabbed. Just remove the 3rd wire, as Joe says, and deal with the...

Use a high intensity RED led bulb for the brakes. Will shine bright red through either, and more understandable by the dummies following you. Unless the color difference bothers you when looking at it. (I just look the other way.)

Could be cutout has gone bad. Unlikely the diode itself, but its connections to the outside. Can measure good with an ohmmeter but opens up with higher current. Open cutout can destroy the generator rather quickly. Bridge across the cutout to check.

5 amps must be discharge. 3-4 volts will keep the cutout open. Bad generator.

Indeed sad news, Jeff. Bratton's has always been the dealer of choice for highest quality parts for the hobby. Hoping other vendors are up to the task of taking your place. Thank you for your many years of serving our special community so well. All the best to you going forward,
