?polarizing your ford generator?

I told a battery installer it was a $100.00 secret.
We got a '60 Caddie in and had put 4 batteries in it. I touched the wire, good to go.
Then I pulled the owner aside and told him how.
That caddie was a great story.

 

You'll need different smoke for left hand drive cars or your car will run in reverse.

 

I guy I knew back in 72 insisted you had to "Pulverize" the generator.

Here's an old post attempting to sort out the two different and non-interchangeable ways of polarizing common 1950's-1960's cars. Write down the one you need and save that! Asking, especially on the internet, is dangerous to your regulator because 50% of the replies will insist that their chosen way is correct.

This other post is an attempt to organize a bunch of fairly simple generator tests
