Well first off, thank you for the information so far! I am so grateful to have a site like this, its helped me a ton already to try and figure stuff out for this truck.
I changed my signature, when i first got the truck and did a little research i thought it was a 48, but ive dived into it a little more and i am pretty sure its a 47.
So heres the response to everything,
Yes the truck has a foot starter
im not sure if there is a reversing switch on the starter, i took it apart to clean up the contact points and didnt see anything i didnt recognize. What should i look for?
Ill have to look but i think the distributor only has one hookup point, it has the points and condenser hooked up to the inside of the cap and obviously the coil hookup on the outside. its on the lower left side of the distributor.
It all looks like a normal system to me, however im not familiar with the difference in positive ground as opposed to negative ground. Could i get some clarification on the differences for that?
The only other question i have is that there is a knob that turns underneath the distibutor hookup, I know Ive been told what this does but Ive completely forgotten. What it its purpose?
Thanks for your help in advance!
