Re: A good start today.........
phase one is a warranty , conversion to electronic Mallory YC for a flathead ....some confusion as the customers car is 6 volt positive ground. In my thinking the pertronix 6 volt isnt a good option here especially with solid wires etc. Customer returned the unit , i removed the module and installed points , tested on tester etc. Out the door it goes ..........
next , lets go to lunch , how about some Mexican????? |

Re: A good start today.........
Thanks for the update. Do take care of yourself. Your health is paramount. Of course, many of us find work therapeutic, so I get that. We are not machines, however, and machines need maintenance, too.
Good luck! |

Re: A good start today.........
Got in a little bit this morning, sometimes its better to just pull the plug rather than fight it . Never have enjoyed a fight when something dont work.
This crab was built and driven two years ago for a customer and just quit running. We warranty all our builds for life so he sent it back . He would pay $25 for the fresh up to cover the shipping. Put it on the tester and it wont fire a ignition coil !!!! Worked on the contacts , adjusted , cleaned etc . Still wont , taking the easy route ( will post the fix when completed) will trash the center contact plate and points , replace with new and retest......... |

Just remember on those "not so perky" days that there are many thinking about and praying that you are strengthened and enriched through this adventure. You are both appreciated and loved by the many folks that you continue to bless... Chap

Re: A good start today.........
Another good day at Bubbas , got in a few hours this morning. Nice weather in shop, check out the shipping box. This is what ya do when you ship from Alaska ....
Its another model 68 Helmet with individual contacts (napa CS47 )May be my favorite Helmet unit. Check out a couple details . We lube the contact fiber with marvel ( i think it helps ) and use high temp grease (mobil 1) on the back side of cam contact...(lube will stay there and get used when wear happens). I get them in quite a bit and the lube has dryed out or no lube at all, pivot and rubbing block are smoked .... Will perform all tests as example in above post ... It will be another good one... Note : Terry ( my part time guy) loves making stuff look and work good. This is what i get from Terry. So i really have it made just sit down and put it together .. This is a pic of his office ..... |

Re: A good start today.........
Jim,
If you posted the photos they didn't come through on my end but not to worry. Just the fact that you are doing well and making good on back orders and warranty work is good enough for me. The mechanical advance Chevy conversion you built for me some time ago is still going strong. Just don't over do it from one of your many fans. Tim
