And they last a long time.
I was the go to guy for wire brushes. We carried BRM. Great quality.

This is true, think when I'm done with paint phase looking for that firewall bulkhead connector may be the first bit of the first electrical work I do along with a new harness, hopefully "plug and play"
Electrical plus painting and the devil in the details appears. There are places where we must scrub away fresh paint to bare metal to contact electrical chassis grounds. Sux don't it?
 
So have this 200K torpedo heater in the shop forever. Started acting up last year so being cheap basically rebuilt it. Amazing the difference just gapping the impeller in them does. Todays project weld a plate on the bottom of the tractor bucket, at a joint it is worn through. PIA grinding everything clean. Started yesterday just dont like the welds, off it comes and really grind the crap out of it!

Agree but things can act pretty weird if you don't
Hell yeah they do. Un ground a points distributor or paint it. The spark will physicaly walk around the cap from terminal to terminal. Big issue with dual points if they do not use a metal gasket and use a paper one. ***** for the average guy to troubleshoot. Hard to explain the timing light will walk around the balancer.
 
Got an email from Hawthorne Stereo, the Pioneer silverface receiver I was demoing has been repaired so I'll go give that another listen and my tube Fisher 800C has been troubleshot, power supply caps among the guilty, will have that repaired and maybe hang onto that one, sounds so good

It seems like capacitors are often the culprit.
 
Worthless really. That has the RV/Industrial heads where the water pump bolts directly to them. So you’re really only buying for the block.
Yep. Basically just a core. It may have an oddball crank that a flexplate won't bolt to.
