How to use a volt meter
In another thread a few guys were talking about converting an old point system over to HEI. What I done in my 1968 chevy with a 327. Is took out old point Dis. And replaced it with a HEI dis. Don,t knnow what it came off of. It,s the kind with the coil mounted on top. Everyone was saying the old point dis. has a 6 volt wire going to it. And that it may have a resistor built into wire. The wire on my truck has no resistor on it anywhere that I can see. And I have been runing the HEI dis. for a while. The truck seams to crank and run okay. I want to check the wire to see if it has 12 volts. But don,t know to use a volt meter. Thier is one around the house however. But I have never use it before. How do you connect it up? Also, could all this have somthing to do with the volage Reg. or Alt? Thankss, John.John
on small cars yes. but fat fender cars are pretty much the same in size and weight as the donor car. i found s10 brakes work great on fat fender and pickups. a deuce will just need manual brakes...
Time for brakes
