Hi all.I'm somewhay electrically challanged, so be gentle... Going in the opposite direction that VB is heading, I finally did the 12v conversion on my 41' 9N. The fates were telling me it was time for a change; 1.) I fried a coil by leaving the ignition on. 2.) My old 6v battery was finally giving up the ghost anyway. 3.) I have multiple 12 volt batteries just lying about, laughing in my face.
Well anyway, I slapped on and hooked up a 10si alternator, a new 6v coil with a Chrysler ballast resistor and a new N-resistor in series, (just to please Dell) checked points, changed the condenser, and installed what looked to be a side marker light. (although I'm not sure if it's a suitable equivalent to a #194) The light was bright when I turned the key and the machine started right up. The anmeter jumped to 15 or so for a second, then settled right down to 1-2 amps, just like I it should. A voltmeter also says that I'm getting charge. My quandry is that the marker light dims, but won't go out, even when the engine s reved up. Wassup wit dat? No other symptoms to report, doctors. The light says that the alternator be dying, or is it?
Another thing; does it matter which resistor is hooked up first in line? Thanks for the consultation. My co-pay is in the mail.
