    Ford 860 12 volt conversion question

    Thanks for the info. Previous owner replaced the 6 volt starter in 2014 prior to my 12 volt conversion. I don't think I'll replace it if it's not a likely cause of my problem.

    Ford 860 12 volt conversion question

    860 proof meter issue

    I bought my 55 Ford 860 4 years ago with the hour meter reading all zero's. The tach appears to work fine. Any idea whether the hour meter can be fixed or do I likely need a new proof meter. I tried installing an auxiliary hour meter. I used the same power source as I did for my volt meter...
