The wonderful thing about having a 1953 Studebaker truck in the family - I'm familiar with six volt positive ground electrical systems. I'm also familiar with having the headlights being so dim I could barely see - the gauge lights being so dim I couldn't tell how fast I was going. Oh - and then have the vacuum operated wipers go out on a hill - with dim lights - and then have them go so fast on the down hill that I couldn't tell if they were exceeding the speed of light. Anyway... Enough ranting about electrical issues. Oh - BTW - it never had an oil filter until we put one on in an engine rebuild about 1200 miles (and three years) ago - this is one of those times we should all be thankful about what we wrench on! -Joey
