  1. I ran very small multi-stranded wires down the conduit tube and pulled them out where the spark plugs wires would exit and also where the wiring harnesses would exit. (I used the small multi-stranded wire used to hang pictures on a wall.) I greased all the spark plug wires with bolt penetrating oil. I snaked the spark plug wires down the conduit tube by running the longer wires first. I started running the wires from the firewall end and pulling them out on the front of the conduit tube. The first two or three wires are easily ran through the conduit by just pushing them thru and not tying anything on to the spark plug wire. The last few spark plug wires I tied the center conductor in the spark plug wire to the small multi-stranded wire I had already placed in the conduit tube. I cut the insulation back about 2 inches so that I could tie on to the center conductor. I special ordered a few spark plug wires that were extra long to allow me to do this cut back procedure. This method allows you not to increase the diameter of the spark plug wire. I then pulled the spark plug wires thru the conduit tube. I then tied the multi-stranded wire to the wiring harnesses and pulled them thru the conduit tube.
  2. I finally got around to installing the spark plug wires in the metal conduit tubes on the 1947 Lincoln Continental V 12 cylinder. I placed very small metal wires in the conduit tubes, taped the small metal wires to the spark plug wires and tried pulling the spark plug wires through. I started with the longest spark plug wires first. I used knocker loose penetrating lubricant on the spark plug wires. Some of the last few spark plug wires do not want to go through one of the tubes. There is a wiring harness in side this tube and goes to the generator and the distributor coil resistors. I am wondering when the spark plug wires were installed in this conduit tube at the factory, was this wiring harness installed afterwards or before the spark plug wires were installed?
  3. Does anyone have any pointers on installing spark plug wires in 1946 thru 1948 Lincoln V12 conduit. Is there an easy way to get the spark plug wires and the electrical harnesses into the metal conduit?

  13. I need a 6V /12V Orpin Series / Parallel Starter Solenoid switch. It is use with two 6 volt batteries to crank with 12 volts then convert back to 6 volt. Does anybody have one or know where I can find one? See pictures below.
  14. Thanks. However, I am want the original Orpin type switch. It is much smaller and easier to hide than the huge switch made my Texas Industrial Electric.
