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.

From Bob's links there is an ACDelco part that fits 2630 Fords, so that may be worth a try!
