Continuing charging questions

Still attempting to get charging system up and working.
43 2N 1 wire.
Replaced the non-working innards of the cut out can with bridge rectifier.
Verified power going only one way. Put cover on and verified not grounding out on cover.
Installed same way as (borrowed) picture shows.

Went to hook wire to genny and got a spark.
Checked genny with continuity tester, there is continuity from connector bolt to case.
I have 6V on wire at genny connector.
Checked old genny with same result. Is this right?
Is it possible it is wired in backwards? It's the only thing I can think of.

I'm sure the next one I do will go faster lol

Thank you for your knowledge sharing,

hat is for Positive ground system AND the forked terminal goes to generator.
 
Well dagnabit. I always seem to forget important info.

Forgot to add the part about this is a negative ground.

Came to me this way from PO (I believe just put battery in that way),
and I don't know enough about what to check for ignition.
Also ALL wires are red except generator wire is black
Topic for a future job.

I do have the forked terminal going to generator and terminal marked 'bat' going to battery.
I'm thinking just swap wires around to test.
If it's that simple I will rewire, and make a note, inside of can.

Thanks JMOR

ust swap wires on your cut out , polarize gen and start her up.
 
howdy........yeah, you'll gitta spark when you POLARIZE yer 2-terminal round can cut-out, ENGINE OFF. Just "arc-spark" the cut-out terminals together, engine OFF. Me? I use a pair of pliers handles, you can use bailin' warr iff'n you want. There are some obscure advantages to positive (+) ground but yer 6-volt genny can be negative (-) ground too. It all depends upon how you install yer 6-volt lead acid battery. So many neubee shadetree mechanics want to install their 6-volt tractor battery negative (-) ground like their 12-volt BelchFire-V8. That is WHY I recommend re-polarizing their round can CUT-OUT when they finish re-installing their NEW 6-volt battery. You can "polarize" as many times as it takes to feel warm'n'charged. ........electrical Dell
 
The bridge and an updated clutch type starter drive are two of the best things u will ever do to an N.If I used mine at all #3 would be to add live hydraulics..
 
Dell; don't get these newbies confused. You polarize the generator, not the cut-out. He just put in a diode, so how would that get polarized?
 
Thank you for the help. Gonna get this thing done yet.

After owning for 3 yrs I'm not so much a newbie just not so much electrical smart.
But I am smart enough to know when I don't know something :)
You want an easy to get 400 HP outa your older school (no computer) SBC I can do it.

Why not just put the battery in the correct positive way?
 
teddy........yer correct, you can NOT polarize a DIODE, it is already polarized. When was the last time you dissected a real old fashioned round can cut-out? Its gotta coil of wire wrapped around a metal core. That defines electo-magnet. Isn't that amazing??? As fer polarizing a diode'd cut-out, guess what? It will ONLY pass current 1-way. The DIODE way. So iff'n you mount a DIODE modified cut-out the WRONG way, guess what, you will NEVER re-charge yer 6-volt battery. As I said, gennys can produce either POSITIVE (+) or NEGATIVE (-) volts depending upon how they are polarized. And BTW ground can be POSITIVE (+) or NEGATIVE (-) at the same time. ........electrical Dell
