Hi.. Can you make a diagram how i put the diods, don´t understand where thay go to. I understand you cut the wire from the turnswitch and put diods between, but then ? please..
Talking about the alternator upgrade while also using the amp meter, you mentioned a jumper wire so that it don't burn out. Are you running a wire from the alternator through the meter out to the starter and also jumping another wire between the two contacts of the meter? Also, is 10AWG good for over 100amp alternators or would it need to be 8?
Just ran into your channel, great content and detailed explanations. The diode use is very creative. I was planning something like this using only the running lights. Thanks again for sharing your work. Cesar
Your break is a separate wire. Pull a standard break light you'll find 2 terminals and the case is the ground. One terminal is the running/turn and the other is break. The way your doing it, when you're on your break, you wont see the turn signal because the high filament is fully charged by the break. Now this is part of the circuit that I cant figure out.... If your running lights are off, the turn signal blinks. But if the running lights are on, it blinks by shutting them off.
Liked your video wish you would've drawn a schematic on how you did the conections. Example you show the flasher with the two cables but dont show where they connect then you show a on and off switch where is it connected to the flasher?ok the one wire that is spliced into 4 does it come from one in the flasher wish you could explain thanks need this info to add to my 52 chevy styline deluxe thanks
There is no need to convert a 6 volt car to 12 volts. Just use the correct 1 gauge battery cables and a Group 2 or larger battery. If you want more juice, just use an 8 volt battery. All you will have to do is adjust the regulator.
This is completely moronic advice even for you! Sealed batteries, alternators, dual electric fans AND electric fuel pumps may not have existed in 54' but they do NOW. Do yourself a favor GET WITH THE PROGRAM.
Hey jimmy thanks for the help but I have a question, I am installing a new column and I need help identifying the wires in the car to match up to the colors from your diagram , I have the shop manual but they don’t clearly mark what is what and the old wires colors aren’t very obvious any ideas?
Great, just found you jimmy a subscribed right away, this helps a lot I’m swapping out the steering column to put in tilt column and power steering and the wiring was my biggest concern , your explanation and diagram helped me tremendously to boost my confidence ! Thanks bro!
Great video! My 54 New Yorker has an aftermarket column and switch. I believe I can accomplish your theory with a new flasher and using existing aftermarket hazard knob on the turn switch. I shouldn't need to plug into each wire. 🤞🏾 Thanks main
You have explained the wiring very well, however my stock wiring is different with 4 separate bulbs for the rear end. Each bulb has only one wire going to it. I'm guessing the upper lamp is for running or with headlamps on. While the lower bulb is for stop or signal , switch operated. Is your wiring diagram for a new wiring kit. I am trying to make logic of your explanation and my service manual. Thank yoiu in advance.
On mine when I hook up that white brake switch wire its causing my rear lights to flash like I have my blinkers on. Im trying to get the rear brake lights to function on the double duty wire you where refering to. When I hook up my white wire my rear lights start flashing.
hi i like your simpler design. have all materials to start. i also bought a hazard light indicator for inside the car.press on red light switch and may want to incorporate this into your plan.
Very informative video, I will have to rethink doing this upgrade myself as you pointed out there is a lot that goes into it , but I’m glad I watched the video instead of getting into it and realizing to late that I’m in over my head🙏🏽👍🏽😎
Wow... what a simple but effective solution. Gonna start with my conversion now. Thanx so much for sharing this awesome idea. Good luck with your build.
just a thought, if the indicator share a fuse, like the fuel pump and , or even the ignition, you will need an extra diode, in the indicator line so hazard voltage, does not feed back to the fuel pump- IF THE indicators themselves are left on, or turned on, this may apply to some one's car
If the car is wired properly it shouldn't share a fuse. Also is should be on a constant circuit so the hazard lights will work when the car is off or having issues.
I’d love to know what the voltage of your car is, not familiar with rectifier diodes so I’m not sure if I’d blow those up on a 6V car or not. Would these work for me?
hi thanks for practical hazards using diodes. it would be nice to see a little schematic diagram showing wiring. also how abt a fuse attached to your aux wiring. thanks will try your idea on my 65 chevy impala.
I recently purchased a 1948 chevy fleetmaster coupe and I was wondering if you think that same wiring harness will work for me? I am planning on a 12 volt conversion aswell.
