I'm looking for a '50 baby Lincoln wiring diagram, specifically the gauge cluster. I'm doing a 12V conversion, and need to know where to put the voltage reducer. I can't see behind the dash well enough to follow the wires to all the gauges and find the common power, and the cluster is not an easy unbolt. I've got all the service manuals except for the one with the wiring diagram Can someone get me a pic of that page out of theirs? Thanks for the help.
Pull the front seat out so you can lay on the floor and look under the dash for a black wire with a green tracer coming off of the ignition switch and going to the gauges. (There may be several black w/green tracer wires from this terminal.) This wire will only be hot with the key on so it should be fairly easy to find. The voltage drop unit should go in this wire. I've got a drawing but too cluttered and actually takes up 3 pages. It's pages 569, 570 & 571 in the '49 thru '51 in the Lincoln/Merc service manual. If you send me a PM with your e-mail addy I can scan and send tommorow. BTW the "Baby Lincoln" is the EL series not to be confused with the EH big bodied Lincolns. Jim
