Replace distributor clamp leaving screw loose

enough to allow distributor to be turned for timing

adjustment.

5. Install spark plug wires in distributor cap. Place

wire for No. 1 cylinder in tower (marked on old cap

during disassembly) then install remaining wires

clockwise around the cap according to the firing

order (1-8-4-3-6-5-7-2).

6. Attach distributor to coil primary wires.

7. Replace distributor cap.

8. Adjust timing and then fully tighten distributor clamp

screw.

DISTRIBUTOR OFF-ENGINE TEST

The distributor's centrifugal and vacuum advance can

be checked in a distributor testing machine or synchro-

scope specially adapted or designed to accommodate this

type distributor. However, since this involves removing

the distributor from the engine, this test may be post-

poned until other system checks have been made. A dwell

reading cannot be obtained on this distributor and it is not

likely that the centrifugal or vacuum advance will be a

cause of trouble.

COMPONENT CHECKS (Figs. \7\ and 18i)

With the two transistors separated from the assembly,

an ohmmeter may be used to check the transistors and

components on the panel board for defects. An ohmmeter

having a 1-1/2 volt cell, which is the type usually found

in service stations, is recommended. The low range

scale on the ohmmeter should be used except where

specified otherwise.

A 25 watt soldering gun is recommended, and a 60% tin

40%
lead solder should be used when re-soldering. Avoid

excessive heat which may damage the panel board. Chip

away any epoxy involved, and apply new epoxy which is

commercially available.

In order to check the panel board assembly, it is

necessary to unsolder at the locations indicated in Fig-

ure 18i the two capacitors C2 and C3. In all of the fol-

lowing checks, connect the ohmmeter as shown and then

reverse the ohmmeter leads to obtain two readings. The

amplifier circuitry is shown in Figure 19i.

1.
Transistors TR1 and TR2: Check each transistor by

referring to Figure 20i. If both readings in Step 1

are zero, the transistor is shorted. If both readings

in Step 2 are zero, the transistor is shorted; and if

both readings are infinite, the transistor is open.

Interpret Step 3 the same as Step 2.

2.
Trigger Transistor TR3:
11
both readings in Step 1

are zero, the transistor is shorted. If both readings

in Step 2 are zero, the transistor is shorted; and if

both readings are infinite, the transistor is open.

Interpret Step 3 the same as Step 2.

3.
Diode Dl: 11 both readings are zero, the diode is

shorted; and if both readings are infinite, the diode

is open.

4.
Capacitor Cl: If both readings are zero, the capaci-

tor is shorted.

5.
Capacitors C2 and C3: Connect the ohmmeter across

each capacitor (not illustrated). The capacitor is

shorted if both readings are zero.

6. Resistor Rl: The resistor is open if both readings

are infinite.

7. Resistor R2: Use an ohmmeter scale on which the

1800 ohm value is within, or nearly within, the

middle third of the scale. If both readings are infi-

nite, the resistor is open.

8. Resistor R3: Use an ohmmeter scale on which the

680 Ohm value is within, or nearly within, the middle

third of the scale. If both readings are infinite, the

resistor is open.

9. Resistor R4: Select an ohmmeter scale on which the

15000 ohm value is within, or nearly .within, the

middle third of the scale. If either reading is infi-

nite, the resistor is open. ~

10.
Resistor R5: Use the lowest range ohmmeter scale.

The resistor is open if either reading is infinite.

NOTE:
This resistor on some applications may

be located in the vehicle wiring harness, and not

on the panel board.

11.
Resistor R6: An ohmmeter scale on which the 150

ohm value is within or nearly within, the middle

third of the scale should be used. If both readings

are infinite, the resistor is open.

REASSEMBLY

During assembly, coat with silicone grease both sides

of the flat insulators used between the transistors and

heat sink, and also the heat sink on the side on which the

transistors are mounted. The silicone grease, which is

available commercially, conducts heat and thereby pro-

vides better cooling.'

Removal and Installation 6Y-33

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The function of the starting system, composed of the

starting motor, solenoid and battery, is to crank the

engine. The battery supplies the electrical energy, the

solenoid completes the circuit to the starting motor, and

the motor then does the actual work of cranking the

engine.

The starting motor (fig. Is) consists primarily of the

drive mechanism, frame, armature, brushes, and field

windings. The starting motor is a pad mounted 12-volt

extruded frame type, having four pole shoes and four
fields,
connected with the armature. The aluminum drive

end housing is extended to enclose the entire shift lever

and plunger mechanism, protecting them from dirt,

splash, and icing. The flange mounted solenoid switch

operates the overrunning clutch drive by means of a

linkage to the shaft lever.

The V-8 wiring harness differs from the in-line engine

in that the ignition lead to the coil from the switch is at-

tached at the coil instead of at the starter solenoid (fig.

2s).

MAINTENANCE AND ADJUSTMENTS

No periodic lubrication of the starting motor or sole-

cannot be inspected without disassembling the unit, no.

service is required on these units between overhaul

periods.

RESISTANCE CHECKS

Although the starting motor cannot be checked against
specifications on the car, a check can be made for. exces-

and should be corrected.

2.
If the
voltage drop does not exceed 3.5 volts and the

solenoid does not pull in, measure the voltage availa-

ble
at

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

A diaphragm spring-type clutch assembly is used with

manual transmissions.

The clutch assembly is enclosed in a 360° bell housing

which must be removed to gain access to the clutch.

V-8 engines (equipped with a 4 speed transmission)

use a bent-finger, centrifugal diaphragm type clutch as-

sembly. All its integral release fingers are bent back to

gain a centrifugal boost and to insure quick re engagement

at high engine speeds.

This type of clutch has the advantages of increasing

pressure plate load as the driven plate wears, and of low

pedal effort with high plate loads without requiring over-

center booster springs on the clutch linkage.

The pressure plate is a high tensile strength iron de-
signed for maximum speed conditions.

The clutch release bearing (fig. 4), used with the bent

finger diaphragm clutch, has an overall length of approxi-

mately
1-1/4".
The longer bearing, used with the straight

diaphragm, will cause inability to obtain free pedal travel,

especially as the clutch wears, resulting in slippage and

rapid wear.
DO
NOT INTERCHANGE!

The clutch is operated by conventional linkage consist-

ing of two groups, upper linkage and lower linkage.

The return spring pre-loads clutch linkage, removing

looseness due to wear. The clutch free pedal travel,

therefore, will increase with linkage wear and decrease

with driven disc wear, and free travel felt at pedal is

throwout bearing lash.

MAINTENANCE AND ADJUSTMENTS

LINKAGE INSPECTION

There are several things which affect good clutch op-

eration. Therefore, it is necessary, before performing

any major clutch operations, to make preliminary in-

spections to determine whether trouble is actually in the

clutch.

Check the clutch linkage to be sure the clutch releases

fully as follows:

1.
With engine running, hold the clutch pedal approxi-

mately 1/2" from floor mat and move shift lever be-

tween first and reverse several times. If this can be

done smoothly, the clutch is fully releasing. If shift

is not smooth, clutch is not fully releasing and ad-

justment is necessary.

2.
Check clutch pedal bushings for sticking or excessive

wear.

3.
Check fork for proper installation on ball stud. Lack

of lubrication on fork can cause fork to be pulled off

the ball.

4.
Check for bent, cracked or damaged cross shaft

levers or support bracket.

5.
Loose or damaged engine mounts may aUiow the en-

gine to shift its position causing a bind on clutch

linkage at the cross shaft. Check to be sure there is
