Foot Start...I do have the Switch/Tumbler/Keys in hand but not ready to install as my only goal right now is to get the first start, and then I plan on covering with a tarp until Spring...truck is stored outdoors and I won't have anymore time to devote to it this year. I do intend to convert to 12v next Spring/Summer in preparation for a modern V8 at a later time (another reason I don't want to buy a 6v battery). Is the Ignition Resistor and 12v Coil really necessary if I disconnect the 12v starting source as soon as the engine starts ?? I do appreciate all the feedback from everyone as it has been very helpful...this is the first 6v vehicle I've dealt with. What is the need for the Foot Switch w/ Side Terminal ?
