Hello, picked up a 49 8N that I'm working on to get in good running order, it has a 12v conversion on it but it's not setup right, i bought a new battery, Ignition switch, plugs, wires, coil, condenser, dist cap and rotor button, points are set at .015, oil pressure is 45 at idle. the insulation on the wires is cracking, the connections are rusted, so I'm redoing the whole wiring harness, removing the Amp gauge and replacing with a volt gauge, I'm doing away with the push button start and using the Ignition switch to start and stop it. Can one of you experienced tractor guru's check my wiring diagram and see if you see anything wrong, i think i got it right but want to make sure. Thanks.
Oh, and where is a good source for a 3 ohm resistor that has terminal block type connections? I'm guessing a 3 ohm will do it since my coil is .9 and the switch is .4 which gives me a total of 4.3 ohms resistance. divided by 14.5 volts would be 3.37 amps to the coil, should i add a little more on the resistor size to lower the amps to the coil or is 3.37 okay? Thanks again.
