RE: [old-chevy-truck] Voltage Reducer

2012-11-12 Thread Allen Jones
Your accessory voltage reducer is nothing more than a large carbon pile 
resistor.  The way it drops voltage is by dissipating heat.  Keep that thing 
away from anything you don't want to melt.  A few on the list have provided 
good suggestions: measure the voltage to see where you are.  The advantage to 
the resistor you have is that if it decided to fail, it pushes the carbon pile 
out the end - no catastrophic failure to do any damage.  Another option is to 
look in a FLAPS heater motor catalog and find an exact, 12V replacement 
(mounting posts and shaft length/diameter) for your 6 volt motor.  That's what 
I did on my 50 to eliminate the need for an external resistor and nobody can 
tell the difference by looking.  A $35 job back then.  Note that your two speed 
heater switch does the same thing as your accessory voltage reducer - it has a 
resistor in line for the low speed.  Perhaps a motivation to get the correct 
motor in your heater box.  Given you have converted everything else to 12v, 
there seems to be little motivation to keep the original heater motor.



A stock tube radio on the other hand, is another story.  Your accessory voltage 
reducer would not work very well (I'll bet you it would eventually fail in 
short order).  I used a LARGE heat dissipating ceramic resistor with my tube 
radio for that job.  And it gets way too hot to touch because as someone 
mentioned, the radio draws oodles more amperage than the heater motor.  FYI, if 
you do have a radio and have converted to 12v, you can replace the power supply 
vibrator in the radio with choice 1) a solid state vibrator for more stable 
output (that's what I did) or choice 2) they now make a solid state vibrator 
that allows for 12v input.  Even a better option to get rid of that hot 
resistor.  Some modification is needed, though (like changing the face light 
bulbs to 12v).



Good luck.

Help for the limited of knowledge, please. After converting my 1951 3600 to 
12-volt, and with the onset of another Kansas winter, I've decided to make 
ready the dealer-installed recirculating heater. After replacing the hoses and 
running through some magic radiator sealer, I believe the core will hold. Now 
to the 6-volt fan motor. I purchased, from Classic Parts of America, part 
#24-996 Accessory Voltage Reducer which is supposed to reduce the voltage for 
radios or heaters. I have no reason to advertise for them, I mention it only in 
case someone wants to look up that part and see what I have. I powered the 
heater fan switch directly from the ignition switch, and wired the reducer 
between the post on the switch and the fan motor, and the switch will power the 
motor at all 3 speeds, but I don't believe it is reducing any voltage. I swear 
the fan is spinning fast enough to move the pickup forward, and I'm just 
certain it is receiving too much voltage. Also, th! e reducer gets very hot. 
Any advice appreciated on whether I'm installing the reducer incorrectly? I 
don't want to burn up this 60 year old motor, and also wonder if it isn't wiser 
to part with $65 and buy a 12-volt motor?

And most importantly, my heartfelt gratitude goes out to all Veterans, living 
and parted, who have sacrificed to make our homes and families safe. There are 
more of us than you know who do not take your gift to us for granted.

pile out the end - no catastrophic failure to do any damage.  Another option
is to look in a FLAPS heater motor catalog and find an exact, 12V
replacement (mounting posts and shaft length/diameter) for your 6 volt
motor.  That's what I did on my 50 to eliminate the need for an external
resistor and nobody can tell the difference by looking.  A $35 job back
then.  Note that your two speed heater switch does the same thing as your
accessory voltage reducer - it has a resistor in line for the low speed.
Perhaps a motivation to get the correct motor in your heater box.  Given
you have converted everything else to 12v, there seems to be little
motivation to keep the original heater motor.
 
 
 
 A stock tube radio on the other hand, is another story.  Your accessory
voltage reducer would not work very well (I'll bet you it would eventually
fail in short order).  I used a LARGE heat dissipating ceramic resistor with
my tube radio for that job.  And it gets way too hot to touch because as
someone mentioned, the radio draws oodles more amperage than the heater
motor.  FYI, if you do have a radio and have converted to 12v, you can
replace the power supply vibrator in the radio with choice 1) a solid state
vibrator for more stable output (that's what I did) or choice 2) they now
make a solid state vibrator that allows for 12v input.  Even a better option
to get rid of that hot resistor.  Some modification is needed, though (like
changing the face light bulbs to 12v).
 
 
 
 Good luck.

 Help for the limited of knowledge, please. After converting my 1951 3600
to 12-volt, and with the onset of another Kansas winter, I've decided to
make ready the dealer-installed recirculating heater. After replacing the
hoses and running through some magic radiator sealer, I believe the core
will hold. Now to the 6-volt fan motor. I purchased, from Classic Parts of
America, part #24-996 Accessory Voltage Reducer which is supposed to reduce
the voltage for radios or heaters. I have no reason to advertise for them, I
mention it only in case someone wants to look up that part and see what I
have. I powered the heater fan switch directly from the ignition switch, and
wired the reducer between the post on the switch and the fan motor, and the
switch will power the motor at all 3 speeds, but I don't believe it is
reducing any voltage. I swear the fan is spinning fast enough to move the
pickup forward, and I'm just certain it is receiving too much voltage. Also,
th! e reducer gets very hot. Any advice appreciated on whether I'm
installing the reducer incorrectly? I don't want to burn up this 60 year old
motor, and also wonder if it isn't wiser to part with $65 and buy a 12-volt
motor?
 
 And most importantly, my heartfelt gratitude goes out to all Veterans,
living and parted, who have sacrificed to make our homes and families safe.
There are more of us than you know who do not take your gift to us for
granted.

Thanks, Deve.  Actually I had already seen your website on this topic.  LMC 
claims theirs is a drop in, but I'll get more info first.  I have two of the 
accessory reducers, so I may try this double up idea.  Just have to decide 
where to mount them.  I'm not so sure I can figure out a way to mount them 
inside the heater cover. As always, thank you all for helping me out.

 I did read somewhere a recommendation to mount the reducer inside the heater

Not sure why the link isn't hot, but this is copied straight from my browser.


I did find a local glass company that said they would do the work, so I think 
that is the way I am headed.  Back to my first question that I obviously did 
not ask specific enough.  Is there a smaller than 5/32 inch clutch head driver

If they are the ones I am thinking of, they are slotted screws with a hole
in the middle. The slot is on each side of the hole and very easy to miss
when they are all rusted. You can get new ones thru the vendors. Not too

[old-chevy-truck] Replacement Accelerator pedal

2012-11-12 Thread Jonas Thaler
I'd like to complain about shoddily-vulcanized after-market accelerator pedals. 
 I just replaced one that had spooned into a concave shape from driving about 
100 miles.   I just replaced it with another crap one. (sad)  The [problem is 
the metal spine was made with metal that's just TOO THIN.  I wish I had saved 
my old worn-out one.  Maybe I could have had it re-vulcanized.

I have a 59 3200.  Anyone else run into this pathetic problem?

Re: [old-chevy-truck] Replacement Accelerator pedal

2012-11-12 Thread Jonas Thaler
I was going to bolt a stiff piece of steel on the back.   And try to use a low 
profile pan head screw that doesnt look too bad.  Not much of a plater am I!
(Although please explain!  Sounds interesting.)  And I will scour junkyards and 
find a real old strong one that might or not need vulcanizing.

 Can you plate the back of it to stiffen it up ?

 I'd like to complain about shoddily-vulcanized after-market accelerator 
 pedals. I just replaced one that had spooned into a concave shape from 
 driving about 100 miles. I just replaced it with another crap one. (sad) The 
 [problem is the metal spine was made with metal that's just TOO THIN. I wish 
 I had saved my old worn-out one. Maybe I could have had it re-vulcanized.
 
 I have a 59 3200. Anyone else run into this pathetic problem?

 I am looking for a wiring diagram mainly for my lights as it melted due to a 
 short in the taillight wiring. The old on is fried and I am still trying to 
 figure a couple of the wires out, before I put the switch back in it. Thanks 
 so much for any help or links.
