Need 1917-1919 Non-Starter Car Wiring Diagram

Post by PaladinBirdy » Wed Aug 18, 2021 11:21 am

I have 1919 Roadster than needs a proper wiring diagram. I'm attempting to make my own, but the differences from other non-starter cars makes it a bit confusing, as I have a steering wheel mounted horn/light switch and a coil box ignition as well, and I need better references. Any graphics will do.

I'm mainly confused about how the coil box ignition switch wires to the magneto and horn switch.

This is called a "Ford model t 1919 d023 ignition system" from Wikimedia.
