Re: Converting a '48 from 6V to 12V with a Chevy Small Block
Posted by Johnny On 2012/11/16 2:17:35
Attached is my updated 12V Small Block Wiring Diagram.
The changes are as follows:
1) I added a Start Button
2) Took the Alternator Terminal 1 wire out of the splice and directly wired it to a warning light.
So, I took liberty with the push button and wired it directly to the starter.
So this opens 2 more questions for me.
Regarding the Warning Light, if the owner does not want a warning light, what should I do with this wire? If he is OK with a warning light, where do I get one and how do you wire it up? Straight to ground? And what about this resistor I keep hearing about? Where does that go?
Second question deals with push button start. In the '48, when the gas pedal was depressed, the wiring circuit took voltage from the Ignition Switch (GA) thru the Ultramatic Transmission, then thru the Carburetor, then to the Starter. This is why I went straight from the Ignition Switch (GA) to the Starter. Is this correct?
