STEERING GEAR
TIMING OF DISTRIBUTOR - If th e distributor has been removed from the engine it is
wise to retime it in relation to
the crankshaft. To do this, make up two wires
with small clips on one end, the oth er ends being connected to the terminals of dash
lamp bulb.
Fasten one clip to the t erminal on th e side of the distributor and the
other clip to the
scr ew on the advance arm . Then remove the plug in the right front
of the r ear engine mount and crank th e engine slowly until the marks I.G.N. are just
passing the hole. When the marks are in the c entr e of the hole the light should go
on and the rotor point should be adjac ent to the outlet on the cap leading to No .1
cylinder. If this is not so, loosen the clamp screw on the advance arm and turn
the distributor until the correct timing is secured. After the setting is done be sure
to
tighten the screw and rech eck by again turning the crank slowly and replace
the plug in the engine mount when th rough.
SPARK PLUG CABLES - If the spark plug cables are removed note the position of the
cables on the distributor as illustrated on plate No. C-20-46, on page 26. .
CLEANING
SPARK PLUGS - Nev er scrape or clean the insulation with anything that
will scratch the porcelain. Sand blasting is much better and can be done at most
service stations.
SPARK PLUGS - Champion J5 Spark Plugs are used and every 200 to 300 hours they
should be removed
for cleaning and checking. A gap of .025 should be mainta ined
and when making
this adjustment always bend the outer electrode.
