Re: Broken cast iron end of Owen Dyneto generator for 1931 Packard

Just a note; when you install that thing it should slide into the splines and seat against the crankcase completely with virtually no resistance. The fasteners only serve to hold the unit in place. If it does not slide against the crankcase then something is not lining up.

There is a spring load button in the timing cover but that serves only to control the timing gear. The generator shaft is a full floating affair.
