Flasher wiring help

I can't remember which terminal the flasher wire is attached to. I have three options can someone help me out? ACC, AM, or Coil on the diagram? Also, do any of you know the amperage of of the fuse on the back of the light switch? It seems to have disappeared. LOL Thanks in advance. Dave

The flasher goes on the "ACC" post.

I can't help you on the light switch fuse. My '53 didn't have one.

Edit: Here is a link to another FTE thread that shows it as 10 amp. I don't know if it's right, but he/she was pretty good with wiring.

Thanks! There is a slot for a fuse but I never remember removing one. No pictures or noth'n. I have been pretty good about that up to this point. I'll take a look at that thread.

Edit - I also failed to mention that I am still 6 volts.....think that makes a difference????????

I was thinking 10 amp as well, so since dan/julie mentions that as weill, I think you are safe.
It won't matter that you are 6 volts.

My light switch wiring diagram I posted in another of your wiring threads also shows ACC, so now you have two that agree with it.

I just figured now that you are retired you are annoying your wife enough that she has been smacking you upside the head with a frying pan more than normal. She has your mind a little fuzzy
