Well I could not get my truck started - thinking since I just re-wired the
headlights I did something electrical wrong. Well to make a days work
short - I was out of gas.
However, this gave me the chance to go over the electrical system. And I
noticed that I did not have a Polarity Reversing Switch on top of my
starter. Like the shop manual has. Then after looking in the catalogs I
see that the points that Chev of the 40's sell points comes with a polarity
reversing switch. This is 1 3/4 overall length - like my current one. Is
this built in the points somehow - or is my truck wired wrong?
Currently I have the wire from the coil going directly to the outside (away
from the motor) of the rotor.
Thanks,
