My first cluster. Ever done 2 mire to go. Putting those little plugs in shafts were a pain. Put lock tight on ends.

Lacquer. Not for rubber. But point taken for fire reasons..

But. After cleaning. I would pump whatever brake fluid some one is using thru the lines to flush any remaining cleaner.

Edit. If one is doing this. Pull the off wheels. And remove wheel cyl cups. You will want to start fresh .

From what i gone thru. It's the generator. After it was rebuilt. The field brush wire was touching the case. They are going to repair it and the armature may be bad. From it. But. I had enough .. So for now. Alternator.

Fred.

Your right. Not the ignition switch. Generator does motorize. So working on my adapter for alternator. Till i figure out generator/regulator. Problem .
check field winding.

It looks like the resistors on back of reg. Got hot. They should have a fuse so you know what is going on.

V8. Filed the points.
