Years back before I had a computer controlled distributor I found that I could advance my distributor when at higher altitudes (I lived at 7200 feet in Santa Fe) but when I would go down in altitude I had to retard it some. At high elevations I could use about 16 deg BTDC but when I would travel...

I am just trying to see how they could possibly be reversed. The wires are in a connector that is keyed so that it can only go into the alternator one way. Here are your step by step instructions: 1 grasp connector 2 try to slide the connector into the alternator. 3 if it doesn’t fit go to...

Yes, they are relatively expensive but they have a lifetime replacement warranty. Mine have lasted for 21 years and should last another 20 years or more. Sometimes you have to pay for top quality Emery Stora 77 Kingsley Frederick, CO > > for me blackout conditions are desirable. my only...

We also installed Hunter Douglas Duettes in 1997 and the ard still in great shape. We used a contiounous loop cord system so as to not have dangling cords. Ours did not have the foil liner (room darkening) but were more translucent double honeycomb. They give us privacy and insulate against...

I doubt your stove is jammed. You probably don’t have all the screws out. There are two on the front corners and some along the side. Emery Stora 77 Kingsley Frederick, CO > > Leaking, but not at the pressure inlet. I suspect it's leaking where the street hose tees to the overhead and to...

I may have a bad switch but I cannot remember which terminals on the control board are used to test it. Could someone please email me the procedure? Thanks. Emery Stora 77 Kingsley Frederick, CO

TidBit Years ago I found a simple solution for fixing a loose hatch cover bolt. There is a clip in a groove on the bottom of the bolt that often gets broken and the bolt will no longer lift the engine cover. It can be fixed by using a 1/4” lock washer. You open the lock washer by using a...

It was no mistake. The auto parts store tested it and confirmed that the voltage regulator went bad and gave me a replacement. It may be possible for some to remove it from the top of a 455 but in my case I would have had to remove duct work going from my remote filter to the carb filter so it...

Yes, it’s a 455. Everything can be disconnected from the top but there just isn’t room to lift it out past the bracket. Emery Stora 77 Kingsley Frederick, CO > > I changed the alternator on my 78. 403 from the top. Is yours a 455? > -- > Cary, NC > > 1978 Center Kitchen Royale. > >...

We were returning home from Phoenix and were driving along on I-40 just west of the NM border and our voltmeter suddenly showed 18 volts. Apparently the voltage regulator went bad in the alternator. Fortunately I carry a spare so I pulled off the highway into a closed truck weigh station. I...

Many people have done this over the years and also run them going down the road with their Onan running. I recall the Penguins were one of them that people mounted backwards. Emery Stora > > I think the problem with the rear AC is the original duoTherm units were much shorter in length and...

Matt I have had one form or another of Tbi since 1993. I have experimented with putting the sensor on the back of a head, in the cover over where the mechanical fuel pump goes, in the front motor mount and finally in the block drain hole on the passenger side of the engine. The latter seems...

THANKS LES! I carry my grease gun on a utility shelf that I have below the battery tray in the front passenger side of my GMC together with oil, antifreeze, etc. It made a mess so I carry it in a plastic bag but when I go to use it my hands get covered with grease. This will make it easier to...

Bruce John is correct. Section 608 only applies to residential, stationary air conditioning. Can you please check your source and see if there is any reference to Section 609 (mobile use). I have purchased Duracool HC12a since the first of the year without having to provide any certificate...

I had purchased that one and had left it on my car seat for a few minutes. The black plastic panel melted and distorted and the numbers would not display completely. I returned it and they gave me another. I was using it on my front steps and it was not a very hot day but the sunlight again...

Brake fluid will adsorb an amazing amount of water. However when heated the water will vaporize and cause brake failure as it compresses. So, as Jim points out the only solution is to bleed the brakes and replace the fluid with new. Emery Stora 77 Kingsley Frederick, CO > > The old knowledge...
