So if I go back & reinstall points & condenser where do I go from there?
Tried that with no luck. Still no spark. Also threw in a new starter I had to check off that as potential source of the problem. Damn...The saga...
I haven't checked what the exact draw is at the starter...you think that could be source of a issue?
I'm thinking about putting points and condenser back in and walking it back with hopefully better luck. Dagum it!
Yep, its still 6 volt with gen. That was one of my first thoughts so I swapped it out with a NOS one I had in the attic. I think I may try a...
Everything looks fine with the Distributor. I can pull it and check it again but looks like fine.
I tried to do a little bit of trouble shooting via the opinions of some of the old time mechanics in my car club. They were convinced first it was...
Starter pack was a 12 volt pack, yes. Buddy I was working alongside thought it’d be ok as long as light were all off. Horn is unhooked but relay...

And we have success! Thanks Squirrel for the insight. I was able to remove the “inside” bolt and with a little prying the tranny slid right out....

Greetings, I recently picked up a box of old car parts at a local auction and this dash clock was in the bottom of the box. It doesn't have any...
Greeting, I am planning on purchasing this (pictured below) 1941 Chevrolet pickup. It is in good shape, but the 216 runs pretty rough and I'd...
Spent a little time tonight tinkering with the steering issue. Looks like it's coming from the play in the steering box. I can turn the wheels all...
Tires are brand new 6.00x16 bias ply Coker's. Less than 300 miles on them. I'm planning on digging into it a little further in the garage today &...

Not sure about the sides of the old belt, as it ended up in a couple pieces when it failed and then got caught up on the radiator fan while...
Ended up getting a narrower belt and squeel went away. As always, thanks for the insight and recommendation.
I've been doing some research and it looks like 54-55ish they switched sizes on WP/CP/and Gen. Hard telling what is on this truck as came from the...
