GROUND WIRE KIT
Buy - GW-34
SIMPLEX GROUNDING SYSTEM
Simplex Grounding System
After several generations of grounding systems for fiberglass cars, we realized that to make an easy to install and compact grounding circuit, it was important to keep it simple. We did that with the GW-34 by using single ring terminals to branch several circuits to individual accessories or lights in one common area.
By creating 4 separate systems commoned to just 4 terminals, all circuits can be grounded to the engine block at either one common point or several points near each other. These can easily be done out of sight on a show engine and make it simple and effective.
The entire Simplex system uses powertrain bolts to keep everything connected. A common heavy brass stud can be used on the frame rail or as described above. This complete vehicle ground system part number GW-34 is an economical solution to potential problems.
When used on a reproduction body, with the EXPRESS SYSTEM, you can assured you will be driving and not fixing.

GROUND WIRE KIT
Buy - GW-55
CLOSED LOOP
Complete grounding kit to address the entire vehicle with front, interior and rear grounds. Includes all wires for front, interior and rear of car. Same as GW-34, but includes a buss bar that allows for more complex ground systems, especially for those with loads of dash board mounted accessories.

HOT SPOT POWER STRIP
Buy - GW-16
Positive Power Distribution
Our new power strip allows you to dress up and expand the power leads when you have added a lot of accessories and components. Ten screws for smaller feeds and you can add heavier feeds to the studs at both ends. This should be mounted where accidental grounding is not a risk.

BATTERY CABLE SET
Buy - TP-35
TOP POST SET
This high temperature, cross-link cable is far superior to auto parts store and welding cable. With a temperature rating of 255 Degrees F, (under hood temperature varies from 212 degrees F to 240 degrees F) this flexible cable has less voltage drop and more current carrying capacity. The quality lug stays round longer, thus insuring a tight seal and resisting corrosion. The color coded rubber protective boots further clean up your installation for a neat engine compartment.
Includes 20 Foot Positive Cable and 15 Foot Negative Cable
All battery cables come with a crimping tool and shrink tubing. Extra lugs are provided in case you are adding a battery disconnect switch.

VOLTAGE REDUCER
Buy - VR-1
FOR USE W/ GAUGES UP TO 1.5 AMP TOTAL
This voltage reducer is for using 6 volt gauges in a 12 volt system. It handles up to 1.5 amps total. This is NOT a resistor, but an electronically controlled device which produces exactly the 6 volts you need for your gauges. If you are keeping original gauges, you need a VR-1 electronic voltage reducer. Mechanical gauges only need 12 volt bulbs. You must use original sender with the old gauge.
Product may vary from photo.
MORE INFORMATION:
If you are changing everything in the car to 12 volts, there is not much said here to help you. If you are keeping original gauges, radio, wiper or heater, read on...
Bulbs
All bulbs must be changed to 12 volt units. RON FRANCIS WIRING has bulbs available in higher candlepower for brighter and safer illumination. We carry most applications for exterior lights. This includes SUPER BRITE HEADLIGHT BULBS for vehicles older than 1940.
Reversed Polarity
Reversed polarity is not a problem. We have never seen a 6 volt gauge that you could not simply hook up to our reducer and be fine.
6 Volt Heater and Wipers
Heaters need our VR-4 capable of 15 amps load. Sorry, we have never been able to find any records of what your unit draws. Our supplier does not accept returns on these voltage reducers. Wiper motors hardly seem worth a voltage reducer. Replacement 12 volt units are easily available.
6 Volt Radios and Clocks
Radios can be fun. Positive ground radios are impossible to use. Clocks usually respond well to the voltage reducers, except accuracy is marginal.
Converting the Original Engine
The six volt starter can stay. Install the new 12 volt battery and solenoid. This might shorten the starter's life some but not enough to notice. Update your distributor by using a 12 volt coil and condenser from a mid-60's GM engine. The points themselves just need new ones for maximum life.
Original Engine now, but Planning a Swap in the Future?
Convert the original motor to an alternator now. Use the model you want on the new engine. We can help with this. Just leave slack in the wires to the engine components for adjustment after the new engine is in place. RON FRANCIS WIRING does not recommend the use of a generator even after swapping for a 12 volt model. Brackets are available to allow a GM integral alternator to mount and adjust on a flathead.

If you want to get more serious than this, please call our tech line...610-485-1937.
