SECTION 1 - Engine Compartment
Junction Block, starter cables
There is a junction block, with three terminals,
located on the firewall behind the battery on cars
beginning with serial number 6031808 (except
6031834 and 6031840).
The Los Angeles equivalent would be
approximately 6800352. The wiring harness has
separate cables to the starter solenoid switch.
Prior to serial number 6031808 (but including
serial numbers 6031834 and 6031840) the wiring
harness had integral wires to the starter solenoid
switch and no junction block was present.

Oil Bath - Air Cleaner
The parts catalog lists a special part number,
1540431, for the air cleaner used on the 1956
Golden Hawk. The air cleaner (oil bath) should
be painted black.
The decal is located on the top of the circular
area. Most are at the front edge but a Hot Rod
Magazine dated April 1956, page 21, showed
one mounted toward the fender.
The color is yellow with black letters and the size
is approximately 3" x 1-1/2". Among the several
variations of the decal, the one shown here
seems to be the correct one.
