I am in the wiring stage of a complete restoration of a CA, and need some advice on how to proceed with the conversion to 12 volt using a new factory wiring harness. I have a generator and starter that I have had rebuilt for conversion to 12 volt. The factory manual shows the voltage reg attached to the generator. Can I still obtain this reg, and in 12 volt? Someone had spliced wiring for a three wire reg into the old wiring harness, and it was messy looking. It was mounted just back of the generator near the tool box lid. I thought about mounting a reg inside the tool compartment out of site...Does the black, small last wire in the wiring harness go to the distributor? Can I add wiring for the voltage reg coming out of the ignition box to keep from having to splice into my new harness? Will the new condenser and points require a step-down resistor to protect them? Thanks, Lynn

Today's Featured Article - 12-Volt Conversions for 4-Cylinder Ford 2000 & 4000 Tractors - by Tommy Duvall. After two summers of having to park my old 1964 model 4000 gas 4 cyl. on a hill just in case the 6 volt system, for whatever reason, would not crank her, I decided to try the 12 volt conversion. After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
