HOT WIRING MY 1950 COMMANDER

[zoegrant]

Hi...I have pulled the cluster gauge from my commander to have it repaired and wont have it back for another 3 weeks...I need to move the car from my garage, so my question is how do I" hot wire" to start the car to move it ?...I know i have to plug the oil pressure line or I will have oil everywhere but how do i go about BY-PASSING that cluster of gauges which containes the fuel,temp,ammeter and oil pressure gauges ?...John

jumper from battery negative to coil power side. Get starter to spin over.

Doug...I was thinking I should be hooking up some of those wires from the gauges which are not there to the iginition switch to by pass the cluster gauge ?...then I thought i only had to turn the key and i was good to go ?..Hope this is understandable...john

Take the wires that went to the ammeter, on both sides.
Put a small bolt thru them (all) and put a nut on it and
tighten it down. TAPE IT UPas well as taping other exposed wire ends. Be sure the battery is disconnected
before you start. Reconnect battery and do--it!
