Ford Blitz Restoration/Rebuild

[hrpearce]

Tony I used an alternator to get 12v to run my spray rig and you are right you don't need a regulator, and if you add a resister ( the white bar in the exciter wire ) you dont have to add a red light either.

Robert, I don't understand about 'red light'. I once had a friend that visited a 'red light' area, but I suspect thats different

Hay street Kalgoorlie? My blitz didn't have a red light on the dash that comes on with the ignition and goer out when the engine is running and the generator / alternator is charging. So instead of adding a light to the dash I added a resistor to the alternator exciter wire.

Ok, thanks, now I get it.

P.S: It may have been Kalgoorlie, my friend was a 'minor' at the time.

Sorry. Couldn't resist.

It could be worse. I hear the "God Particle" jokes have already started!
