Dear Gang: On my 1957 Plus 4, I finally deterrmined the problem with the wiring system. It seems the autocar had been converted at some time very early in its life from 6 volt to 12 volt and positive
Your Morgan was never a 6 volt car. The British stuff has all been 12v Positive Earth since the beginning of time. Your Mog had two 6 volt batteries wired in series. Installing the battery with Neg
Thanks for this information; it is very helpful to those of us who are contemplating switching over to negative ground (or earth). I have four questions: 1. if the only vulnerable part is the voltag
I have converted several cars from positive ground to negative ground. The advantages are if you want to install a radio (much easier than trying to isolate the radio chassis from the car chassis) o
It has been my experience that: 1. If there is any shortening of life of the regulator, it is miniscule (190,000 miles instead of 200,000?). 2. No truth that I have found, though again there might b
I have serious doubts about this voltage regulator business. In any set of points, the metal migrates from one side of the points to the other. Reverse the poles and you reverse the direction that th
* Everything seemed vulnerable. An alternator would be vulnerable. Other equipments designed in the 20th c. might be vulnerable. My other cars didn't catch fire as I drove down the road. My mother al
Dear Autoux: You explicated correctly::: "5. There are two theories as to how electricity works, Conventional theory says that electrons travel from pos to neg and was favored by my physics professor
I have offered and said to let me know when he was ready to part with one. It was his first car and called the Green Hornet. He was immediately drafted and spent his tour in Harrogate in the Lake Dis
You wrote, "In 1965 I had an interview with John McCarthy at Princeton for Computer Science, accompanied by my Indian priya" Excuse my ignorance, but what's an "Indian priya?" Chuck Vandergraaf '52
Join A.Word.A.Day to find out. But I will quote their dictionary. Someone said they did not like "boyfriend" or "girlfriend" for adults but could not find a better English word. Anu suggested the San
Actually, the "conventional theory" (and the mathematics) say that "current" (not electrons) flows from positive to negative (was that why positive and negative were chosen?). Many years later, when
Ben Palmer is my former roomate from the Univ. of Virginia, lo some thirty three years ago. He dated an gorgeous Indian chick named Promillah Roy-Singh. Absolute knockout. He has surfaced (for me at
Here's one you'll like... I found a good way to clean up those cream switch knobs (for those of us who are lucky enough to have them) - OOOO steel wool. Brings them back like new. Add a little dab of
While I would agree that it makes more sense to have the switch pointed down , if you look at the wiring diagram it would indicate that it should be mounted up. Eric Cummins 59 +4 2 str
