In my extensive old car electrical reference library I have a three booklets relating to Gray & Davis and the Model T Ford:
1.) "Gray & Davis Book of Instructions No. A-68 Double Unit System for Ford cars". It is important to understand GD made two units for the Model T Ford car. They are fundamentally the same only one uses third brush regulation and the other uses a regulator/cutout. Both are depicted in the booklet and you will be able to tell what you actually have.
2.) I also have a 1921 book entitled "Automobile Electrical Systems" and Chapter III Special Systems for Ford-Gray & Davis which is is basically the same information with about 25 pages describing in detail operation including the two different regulators.
3.) I also have a 1923 book entitled "Automotive Engineering", Section "Electrical Equipment" with a sub-section "Special Equipment for Ford Cars" showing installation of the the "Gray & Davis" 3rd brush regulation unit on a Ford car in detail.
All three have physical wiring diagrams, but I cannot find a good electrical circuit schematic for trouble shooting.
Your welcome to a copy of this information for the copy and mailing costs. --
