    Does anyone know the name of this TO30 Z129 throttle part?

    Looking for part #12 I'm unable to adjust my throttle. The "pencil like arm piece":confused: that connects to the throttle adjuster above the steering wheel has completely rusted out on one end. Meaning I can push the throttle one way, but can't pull it back the other (won't stay connected) I...

    TO30 Z129 12v ignition coil query

    I have a TO30 Z129 that has been converted to 12v. I recently purchased a 12v ignition coil that I'm unsure is the correct part. My new coil states that an external resistor is required, which my previous coil didn't have. This is the link to the coil I just bought...

    ford 1g alternator on a TO30

    I'm making a wiring harness for an already 12v converted Ferguson TO30 Z129 using a ford 1g alternator. I've read a lot about the delco 10si alternators on here and have seen the wiring diagrams using them. Pretty simple, my concern is the delco and the ford 1g both have a BAT post, however the...

    My TO30 Z129 12v alternator

    This is a pic of the 12v alternator on my TO30 Z129..it doesn't fit the description I'm getting from some as far as the P1,P2, and BAT connections. What I'm seeing is a BAT, GRD, and FLD..and a STA that never had anything hooked up to it before. I'm quite a newbie and am just trying to wire the...

    Just slapped my TO30 back together after carb rebuild, new sediment bowl,fan belt, and replacing a lot of electrical, i.e., plugs,dist.cap/rotor, ignition coil,dash ignition, and just about every wire on her. Before I started this work it was a bear to start, couldn't get fire to her. I'd have...

    Can't find a diode for my TO30

    While rewiring my TO30 Z129...I've had an extremely difficult time locating a new diode for the wire going to my lights. I've been to four automotive stores and radio shack to no avail. Old one is operational but rest of the line is very old. I didn't recognize this line had a diode when I...

    TO30 12v Rewiring

    My TO30 has a 12v alternator(3wire)and an Echlin VR32 voltage regulator. I have replaced all the wiring. My question is the proper wiring for the two starting posts and the ammeter as well as the one wire off the alternator that (grounds?) in this general area. Does the wire that comes off the...
