Here is a link to one of Tony Bingelis' articles about electrical systems, although
not the one referenced by Jeff. See page 29.
http://spirit.eaa.org/apps/magazines/eaa_issues/magazine_199005.pdf
An interesting fact about this link is that the six digit number represents the
year and month of the Sport Aviation issue. One can change those dates to read
any issue in the archives.
Here is an article written in 1993 by Bob Nuckolls on pages 80 -83. http://spirit.eaa.org/apps/magazines/eaa_issues/magazine_199302.pdf
It is interesting to see that his drawings have evolved over the years.

Hi Bob,
Thank you once again for your response and advice.
The original ABMM may still be somewhere in a drawer, I'll try to
retrieve it.
Many many moons ago I crafted a little webpage on the subject :
http://contrails.free.fr/elec_lvwm_en.php
It could help to clarify things.
Will keep you posted on the result of the proposed mod.
Best regards,

Thanks all for your suggestions - I'm looking for a solid state device
so will try this tack.
From Bob's links there is an ACDelco part that fits 2630 Fords, so that
may be worth a try!
Regards, Peter
