Anyone recognize this car? The photo was taken around the mid 1930's photo was taken after my 91 year old grandmother's christening. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
continued adjusting the spring tension on the mechanical voltage regulator until I received the above stated voltages in post # 8, did not take any measurements of the spring due to this being an O'rielly replacement...
My user name is 0 (Zero) Degree engineer, I understood that the issue I was having was getting the voltage differential to stay within a safe operating range so the system will charge and not overcharge while operating. I was wanting some advice to be sure I understood that what I was adjusting...
Made a few adjustments and i believe i got it dialed in yesterday 12.78 at idle 13.8v under load without headlights on with lights drops to 13v but no over charging, for now it is good for cruising may need a little more adjustment but good for now we will see how the rest of the season goes.
I have a FSM but was a bit lost, no extra regulator will check and adjust i adjusted a few weeks ago because it was only putting out 12.8v and did not have the battery voltage gauge installed at the time.
I do have a fluke DVOM at home so I am all good there. I will go back over all my connections and make sure my grounds and resistances are within specifications. Thank you for the thread link
Ammeter shows steady center under load and at idle a minimal discharge. These readings are from an under dah mounted voltage gauge, reads steady power coming off of auxiliary port on fuse box. Mechanical regulator at idle battery voltage changing from 12.8 to 14.3 while idling (Warm) slow change...
That is a terrible thing to happen to anyone. My father had to bury his oldest son it takes a part of a man as I witnessed first hand no parent should ever have to bury their child.
