Stop in for a cup of coffee

[Tooljunkie]

I have that scoop on my Scamp and thought about making a mold off it.

Well if you do, put my name on the first one. Dont even have to finish it, i’d take it rough. (Karl)

 

[Tooljunkie]

Put a cap full of bleach in every once in a while. Controls the green moss.

I read a piece of copper pipe works too. Im going to try it.

We used to sell Hastings Alternators and Starters and their other rebuilt products back in the day. Was a great Company out of North Carolina. To mitigate the flow of defect returns, they supplied you with an Alternator tester. This obviously helped with defect returns and also verified the customers original unit as deficient. Then there were the "clock" positions of the GM Alternators. We carried all of the different ones, but in a pinch, I could disassemble the unit and " turn " it to the desired clock position. Learned to disassemble other makes as well and change out built in regulators and rectifier bridges, brushes. But nothing we could really do with the armatures. Need a lathe for that...and other testing equipment....

Need to spin em up for sure. Had an alt that worked at idle but armature would go open at higher rpm’s.

Another nice morning here.
But Sitting in airport waiting for our flight. Small airport, gates just switch numbers as required.

Wal Mart run done. Polara alignment next. I hope the front end parts are all good and not just rattle canned in gloss black. . They look fresh.

Car is going back together...................

New front shocks, Relo bracket mounted on the firewall and valve covers back on and bolted down.

Need to still put the new MC on and finish up the brakes. Then new plugs and wired up and ready to go.

You gotta a place to stay if you need a rest in the middle

hair dryer?

Hair dryer will work. Sometimes the cover comes off easily and can be laid out in the sun on a hot day say for an hour and is easier to push out with it off. Just my 2cents.

Not too bad. It could use upper ball joints. Just a little loose. Add it to the list. Damn, I did see the right brake lights are out. I remember seeing a freyed wire back on that side. Hey, what do you expect for 60 year old wiring.

It sure does drive better. The front eccentric on the right side had slipped out of place and the caster, camber, and toe were all out of spec. I still have a pull but it seems to be in the power steering. You can start it on the alignment machine and the power steering will turn the wheel to the right. I remember reading something on here or B Bodies about that. Like a spool valve adjustment in the gear.

And don't really change the alignment much at all.

 

[toolmanmike]

Oh and alignments have went up since I was in the shop. $150 now.
