Made it to ft Rosecrans.

Put window in. Used a Packard motor. I will say. It's more quiet than the after market.



Picture of motor is right side.

Had to change.. it.

Finally got the nut cracked loose. On the order of 500 ft-lbs was required. Heard the table creaking...

By the way it's a 1-7/16" or 36-37mm socket required. 1/2" drive is fine... it shouldn't break. I used the value price HF breaker bar which you can't see because of the cheater bar over it.

I guess that the fuse is part of an assembly that screws into the body of the cutout. I don't have any of the parts (fuse, spring & holder that screws into the cutout cover. Can anyone provide the dimensions of the holder and the rating and length of the fuse? Also, how it is wired. There is a wire that comes out of the generator underneath where the cutout mounts. Does that connect to the terminal at the underside of the cutout?

Yes but do diagnostics first rather than buying parts that were mentioned only as a possibility as something to check. Not to make myself sound like an old timer (even though I am) but perhaps a little experienced advice might help give you a bit more confidence. I got my first car at 14 and did all the work on it myself without help, guidance or even a manual (other than an old beat up Motor's manual that was a decade too new) and, of course, there was no Internet either. Just think things through and that's how you learn, then ask for help when you're stuck. People here are happy to teach so I'm not saying don't ask but rather to also try to apply your abilities, which you may not even know you have, first!

Oh yeah, I updated my post to include his email address instead. It wasn't super quick, but very nice workmanship.

Hah! If you’re interested I’d pay for that work in beer and bad jokes! I am seriously considering finding a place that will just get it done but that’s getting pretty hard to come by unless you want to pay 100k for a full concourse restoration and be on a waitlist for however long for the privilege!! If I had the space, money, time, and skill I suppose I’d just live alone with my perfect Packards no one ever sees though.

With limited knowledge I am just taking and following suggestions right now…I don’t have the experience …starter seemed like a good place to start seeing that I don’t have a battery drain with the car off..

The URL posted is invalid and as far a I can see is that they do not have a Web site. Instead, as more and more places are going, they have a Facebook page.

What you DON'T want to do is to start blindly throwing parts at it in guesses. Continue with the diagnosis to find exactly what's wrong first, then fix or replace as needed. Even if the solenoid turns out to be bad, it would not cause the ammeter to misread.

As of a few years ago NAPA had them.
