Dirt Daily. Wiring the Flatfender's Ignition to Try and Make it Run

- Its time to wire up the ignition switch on the 1946 Willys Jeep, but also the starter, coil, solenoid, points, plugs, etc. This little old Jeep has been sitting for a long time, so hopefully I can get it one step closer to running!
Special thanks to whoever drew up the diagram I show around 3 minutes in.

You are the best teacher ever on how everything works on the Jeep, or any car for that matter! Keep up the great work!
Nothing beats the feeling of firing up a project vehicle for the first time! I just got my ‘85 Grand Wagoneer running after working on it for 8 months.
Congrats! That’s awesome. Wagoners are so iconic.
Either nothing beats it or you’ve never been beaten down harder in your life 😅
Great video Fred! Loved the pure joy you experienced when the flatty made engine noises
Fred has me searching the internet for a old flat fender to fix up. Dirt Head Dave has me searching for mini trucks to slam on the ground. I need more money.
Also I'm pretty sure I made some of those same happy noises when my current project Toyota made engine noises. Then I just sat in it and let it run for a while. I was so happy.
The best series yet!!
These videos are very informative. Thank you for taking the time to explain and show how everything actually works! Very nice to see you doing a variety of videos.
This could be used in a high school shop class. This is better than 95% of the stuff I was being taught in grade school. Great stuff Fred
This has been a fun series to watch you make. I dig the simplicity of that little flat fender. It’s made me start scanning the local want ads…. 😂
Great video. You remind me of my late older brother that would explain to me how things worked. Lots of detail and troubleshooting along the way.
Very nice. I like the way you explain everything so that its easy to understand.
I hope in the future you show how to adjust the timing.
Well done.
This is a great video! Got me working on wiring up my Willy’s immediately.
The race is on!! Flatty vs flatty, who will win!
I had an auto teacher tell me this years ago and I don’t think anyone could forget it once heard.

Thought you’d like it Fred. Great video!
Ignition coil: the primary winding has 12v supplied that produces a magnetic field. When the 12v is cut off, the magnetic field collapses. As it collapses it collapses linearly and it simulates a magnet passing by the secondary coil. When you pass a magnetic field past a conductor it induces a current in the conductor. This induced current is, in the case of your Ignition coil, the spark that you need to run the engine.
suggestion......use a bulkhead connector for that clean wiring look.
It's alive! So awesome Fred! You explain stuff so well, I learn alot whether it's flatfender, newbsock, tubesock it don't matter man. Love it, you'll be drive it soon.. D.E.D.!
It was fun virtually hanging out in the garage for this. I am looking forward to the next session. Thanks Fred.
Okay motivated now. Going to see if my 1959 cj5 fires up tomorrow....
Great to hear your flatfender fire up!!
I think the nut behind the ballast resistor is doing two things: putting pressure on the ceramic, and removing the heat sink properties of the firewall.
Congrats on getting it to "make engine noises"!!
I was always under the impression that a ballast resister was to save the points from destruction at an early age
I think its the condenser that protects the points,
Best coil lessons ever😊
That child like glee when it popped off!
If you install the dist 180°out a flame might shoot out of the carb. Welcome to every car show circ 2004😂
I had a 1952 M38A1 Jeep and all the wires were black! The only way to tell them apart was they each had a little metal tag on the ends with a number on it, I had to look up a chart online that told me what each number was for.
This was amazing. Answered questions I didn't know to ask. Thank you.
I AGREE !
Hell yeah Fred don't wrap without a wiz bang bang and wooowhoo!!
Thanks for sharing your talents, insight and adventures!!
Great video Fred. Love these that have real details. So many youtubers skip the details and miss the opportunity to teach. I have a 1930 model A the ignition is very similar. VERY good video!!!
Nice 🎉 glade you didn't leave us hanging. 😊
Good job Fred! Great video. I have been through similar issues.
That first time feeling never gets old!
Excellent video !
When the current is broken to the outer coil windings, the electro magnetic field collapses and the electrons in the inner coil windings create a high voltage current that is converted to ignition spark
Awesome video and your explaining stuff! Thank you Fred. I love your videos on this flat fender please keep them coming!
Happy fred is the best fred.
1 step closer Fred
Nice to hear it started and run for a second.
This was a GREAT episode!!! Loving this build!!!
It was all worth it in the end!
Great informative video!!!
Woot woot love it
Congratulations! That's a crazy dizzy. Keep a spare condenser in your tool kit. Quality of those has taken a giant leap backwards.
It runs!!!! Congratulations Fred.
Very informative video. I’ve done a lot of wiring on a bunch of different planes. There are more crimp style terminals than solder type in aviation. Crimp style terminals are just as good as long are they are crimped correctly. The added strain relief of your heat shrink will make them last forever.
Victory!!!!!
I'm sure you checked lots of places, but boat supply places will almost always have small fuse blocks.
Love it Fred!!🎉
Been watching DED on Max, miss seeing you with dirt head Dave. 👍🏻❤️
FYI, Dave also has a fantastic YT channel: The Dirt Head Shed
Dodge kept using your style ignition switch where acc is a reverse turn from off, instead of going off-acc-run like most do these days.
I fixed a couple Neon battery draws back in the day by just teaching the owner not to turn the key all the way back.
Strange that you had no spark. When you turned over the engine without a distributor cap, you could see spark at the points.
Congrats on getting it started! I haven't gotten that far with my M38A1. I've been pulling all of the weirdness that PO's installed on it and removed the wire harness. I'm getting closer though. What gauge wire do you recommend for the wiring? Looks like 14-16 awg? I'll be installing a 100a 1-Wire Delco and will be using a Land Cruiser high-torque starter.
certain years of dodge van had a double ballast resistor 2 built into 1 so when it fails ( not IF but WHEN ) you switch the wires to the other half ...1984 dodge van and pickup ???
Engines are fun 😉
I had a '65 International Scout and ALL the wires were the same colour and there was NO fuse panel. Ended up put a universal Jeep harness with a fuse panel in it because nobody could figure out all the wiring problems.
You need a CB RADIO on the acc and a call handle so we know how to address you at the trucker stops.
my CB handle is "Tio Loco Fredrico"
awesome Friday night

What are you going to something with grampy the red flat fender from way back
IT'S ALIVE! Boowaaaaa ha ha! 😆
Did that cork ever land?
still going
As far as I know aircraft use crimped connectors. Soldering is to brittle
If you would’ve ended the episode before you pour the fuel in the carburetor. I would’ve been so mad.
Is it just me, or is Fred's videos lately, he narrates and explains every detail like we are always clueless?? He used to make fun, Jeep and truck vids for enthusiasts, not newbies. These last couple have drove me nuts, it's not the dirt dailies we used to know
Run the original they were built to last . The new Chinese crap will let you down.
