90 degree breezes and an off shore breeze presented the biggest challenge for me. You don't want to know the cost of 330 MCM cast lugs for my batteries. By the way the set voltages that Ford used was 7-1/2 and 15, with generators, and because they were generators the was -0- charging amps at idle, it was all discharge amps especially bad with headlights and heater fan going, at or just above idle.
So batteries cycled in the city. My radio drew 9 amps. With a 55 amp hour Group 2 battery and a 30 amp generator. The days of dry charged batteries, and polarizing generators, and sticking cutouts. I rejoiced when MoPar brought forth the first alternator in a car in 1961.
