    12 volt wiring diagram?

    Hi all,

    The restoration continues... does anyone know where I can find a complete vehicle-wide 12-volt wiring diagram? I've been searching all over the web and I've found several parts of the info, but not a complete one and a couple conflict with one another. Any assistance is appreciated. Thanks.

    If we are talking about a Model A wiring diagram and if you have one for a 6 Volt system, it is the same for 12 volt. If you convert to negative ground just change the symbols for the battery on the diagram. Most Model A manuals and parts catalogs have wiring diagrams.

      The wiring diagram would be the same except that the battery terminals are switched as are the coil primary leads and ammeter leads.

        And remember, you CAN use a 6 Volt Model A Generator, to power a 12 Volt System!

            How much are you changing it from stock? As mentioned the wiring is the same for 6 and 12 volts IF everything else is stock.

              Hi Mike,

              I'm doing a frame-up restoration and decided to use all-new wiring as part of the job, so I was looking for a reference that had all of the wiring including the differences between the standard 6v and 12v installation. I looked around some more and found a great write-up and diagrams at

              http://cedarcreekas.org/TechTopics/1...rn_Signals.pdf.

              I recommend that document to anyone doing a total rewire to a 12v system - great call-outs regarding the differences between 6v and 12v. The wiring is in now and I think it's sparking well all the way through to the plugs so I think I'm ok there. Thanks to all for the help. Next issue is that it's not turning over yet, but that's the job for today....

                That is a nice write up on the conversion, thanks for posting it.

                Does anyone here on the VFF belong to the cedar creek club??

                    It's already placed in the tech forum for easy reference.. ( 6v to 12v conversion)

                    to many sticky's tend to clog up a site IMO
                    here is the link
