Sweet, thanks, very helpful. Can you ground the relay to a bolt on the body somewhere, instead of to the battery negative?
@Robs_garage9024 күн бұрын
You probably could but it’s more ideal to put on the battery

Excellent installation! One of the only KZfaq fuse block installation videos that is done right. Many others who have no fuse protection between the battery and the relay. Many who have grossly undersized the wiring to the relay. Many who have used standard 40 Amp, non-continuous duty relays feeding to a 120 Amp fuse block. Many with no loom wire protection or grommets through panels. This installation will provide you with years of trouble free performance.

Exactly what I was looking for. From your triggered fuse block you can feed a lot of accessoires without having each acc triggered by its own relay, of course their switches need to have enough amps to feed the acc. I want to rewire a Ford 1973 and need a triggered fuse block for head-tail-fog lights, turn signals, power windows, radio, heater, electrical fan and so. I guess this will with such triggered fuse box
@ZxSkyLineKidxZ4 ай бұрын
Will the 10A fuse you use blow when you add more accessories to the power block? Or is it just being used as a tap to just trigger the relay with 12V to close the circuit?
@Robs_garage904 ай бұрын
The wire being used from the 10 amp fuse in the original fuse panel is just used to trigger the relay only when the ignition is switched on. It’s just a good idea to always fuse a circuit in case of any shorts, but that should be plenty sufficient just for that purpose only.
@phildoleebowitz53355 ай бұрын
Im confused as to how you spliced into the trigger wire, you ran it off the relay in to the fire wall with the big power wire? And then you removed the injector wire from the your circuit breaker block under the dash? And tied it all in? But it wouldn’t make sense because at the end you are still getting 12v on the fuse so it is still hooked up. Help me out because this is exactly what im trying to do as well. Thanks

Hey Rob, question about the bendix. When I took mine apart, the bendix was stuck in a collapsed position so it wasn't engaging. You couldn't see the pin hole because the gear part of the drive was covering it. I have freed the bendix up but it doesn't move very far in and out. When I watched your video where you showed the bendix moving at around 8:35, yours doesn't move much either. I haven't reassembled mine because I assumed the bendix needed to go back to the collapsed position when disengaged. Does the bendix only move that small amount and is that enough for it to engage / disengage the flywheel?
@Robs_garage90 Жыл бұрын
Yes the movement you see in the video is pretty much all the further it will move. It should try to retract when you let go of it because there is some light spring pressure. It won’t really snap back hard or anything like that but it should try to come back on its own.

Great timing on posting this video. I disassembled the Prestolite starter from my 63 Studebaker GTHawk 289 V8 yesterday. The starter was rebuilt 30 years ago so it is in great condition. Like your starter, the only real problem is a sticky Bendix drive that doesn’t slide back and forth to engage and disengage the ring gear on the flywheel. Since this Bendix drive still appears basically new, I am going to clean and lubricate it rather than replace it. The gears on both the ring gear and Bendix drive look great. Hope your video inspires others to repair their starters like the video did for me.

I've had 7 Studebakers, and one thing that I would suggest is to unbolt the brackets that hold the front brake lines to the frame, weld the holes closed, weld any cracks you see, and weld some steel plates in that area. Add the plates to the top and both sides. I had a '61 Lark frame crack there, and when I put the brakes on while backing up, the front bumper would go up and down. I had a large engine in it which stressed the frame, but the welder said that he had seen the frames crack there in Studebakers as early as 1950. I'm guessing that the frame may have had some abuse driving on dirt roads, and this might be a good bit of insurance while you have it apart. Also, I have found that Walmart has low prices on carb, brake, and other cleaners. Purple Power works well for cleaning grease and dirt from the frame. Again, Walmart has a good price on it. If the power steering cylinder is leaking, the Lares Corporation has a lot of steering parts. The system is similar to what Ford and other companies used. I replaced the cylinder with a new one from Lares for my 1959 Ford Fairlane, and it made a huge difference steering the car. These cylinders are not rebuildable, however you can replace the piston rod seal. The seal on the piston will get worn, and not give as much boost as it once did. Good luck!
@Robs_garage902 жыл бұрын
Gary, thank you for the information. I have not heard about that frame issue and I will now be addressing that as well as the power steering cylinder. You are right about wal-Mart. I always buy oil there because it is the cheapest around. Thanks again!
@garylangley45022 жыл бұрын
@@Robs_garage90 You are welcome. I didn't know about the frames cracking either until the welder told me about his experiences with Studebakers. He said that the holes were not drilled in the frame, but punched when the frame was stamped, which caused stresses and cracks. I had a 1960 Cadillac 390 cubic inch V8 in the car, and I'm guessing that the torque of the engine cracked the frame. When you said that your car may have been driven on a lot of dirt roads, I thought that I'd better pass along the information. That is probably an area where the frame flexes, and those holes just happen to be there. Driving on dirt roads may add more flexing and strain. If I think of anything else, I'll contact you. Again, best wishes on your project.
