Size difference

This is going to stand off 1/4 or so higher

Little more work than I wanted with this adapter.

Made it to ft Rosecrans.

Put window in. Used a Packard motor. I will say. It's more quiet than the after market.

Click to see original Image in a new window

Picked up this switch at auto zone.

The bezel. Someone used something. Might be silver solder.

Don't think it's solder.

But I could thread this on switch.

Only thing . Would be a spacer. And a bracket to hold switch from turning.

The bezel won't pull off.

Could also add an led behind bezel for a light.

Bezel with copper was thinking of using that locating part to hold switch. Don't think it will work.

Removed auto park relay.

Not sure what the issue was. Except there were. Some broken connectors

And p.b. works. Now.

Put on/off switch for ignitor.

And replaced original starting relay with a. Cube relay

Found out. I have wiring. To start only in park.

Now. Figure out . How to make auto park. Reliable.

Not to sure what vacuum advance I have.
Might be gm.

But I couldn't get condenser in.

I ground it back.

Now .. question. Was this part of my bucking?

Vacuum advance did work with ignitor. Not sure if it got hung up..

Think I have ground wire right

Ross.
If you pop in here..

I adjusted the throttle linkage back about 1/8 inch. That seems to of solved the hang up of converter coming in.

My bucking seems to of stopped .. had to of been vacuum advance. Hanging up

While under the car I noticed exhaust pipe hanger rubber. Gave up

Found this red on Amazon. Comes in black too. But a buck more.

Had to get longer bolts. Stuff is 7/8 thick

Notice a chunk on driveway.

Left side toast

Right side doesn't even looked touched.

But a chunk out of one..

Mixer error?.

This is the green polyurethane.

Put 4 more in.

Can't remember if it's been a year. Since I put those in.

Flexane. If it wasn't so expensive. It's good.

Still have the uppers in been over 10 years.

Those I made in the 90s.
