Guest Thumpersloper Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 I've got a 6v Delco 948s generator off a 1938 Buick. Question is, the cutout box has 5 terminals not 4. BATT GEN F GRD. The extra one is marked IGN obviously ignition. What is this for???When I apply 6v to it and GRD it pulls the contact in.I want to convert to electronic regulation by using BATT GEN F and GRD.This will make the IGN terminal redundant.Is this OK? Is the IGN term part of the old regulator set up and therefore not required if I go electronic???Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
startergenrebuilder Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 Pete,The ignition is to feed the field control. If updating to modern 3 terminal, tape off the "ign" wire.JasonAdvanced Electrical Rebuilderswww.aerrebuild.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
