Thank you VAANTH for the oil switch trick. I have to try that on my 71 Apollo 413 industrial engine. Waiting for the electric choke coil to cool off when I leave the key on to long before starting get annoying. I have the positive terminal wired to the ballast resistor. Your schematics also...

The car is a true barn find. Was parked in back of a auto shop since 1979. I bought it 3 years ago with a locked up engine. There was 6 inches of sludge in the pan. The lack of lube seized the camshaft. I rebuilt the engine with a melling rv cam. 28" Radiator was rebuilt by Bill Carburry...
