So what did you do with the second adjustment ? Running into the same thing with my 50 coronet

Set the major adjustment forward or back to get the timing with the range needed. Lock it down. Then use the standard “daily” adjustment to fine-tune the timing as needed. I really like using my Snap-On dwell meter to help dial things-in quickly and accurately.

Wow... I saved this episode, as I bought a 1953 Dodge Regent four door, with the 230-6 in it, that may need rebuilding... Its the 25 1/2 " length block... Did the dry compression test and averaged only 86 lbs overall... Supposed to be 120-150 ... Next test is 'wet' test, with some oil, to determine if the motor has bad rings or valves in need of adjustment... Best regards, from the mountains of central California ...

@@larryg.9187 I’m not sure you’ll ever see +120 psi on a stock engine. May be at sea level? 115 psi is the best I’ve ever seen on my fresh engine rebuild, after break-in. Check for valve leakage. You may be losing some PSI there.

@@keithsgarage5831 ... Your right... I am hoping, the valves are out of adjustment... The book says .010 on a warmed up motor... Any tips on adjusting them cold ? As I just can't picture myself reaching under the header (?) to get to hot valves ... Especially, when I've not done that in fifty years... Going on 72 this year, and got to work safe...

Pretty Windsor.. Do you have collector car insurance? I use American Classics for Mama's 1991 Park Avenue - $200 for FULL coverage and NO deductible with DECLARED VALUE. Christine Dapper is my epic agent. I'm negotiating on a 1949 Packard Super 8 and the premium on that car would be $180.

Thanks for the great idea. Wired this into a 1950 Buick along with a couple of freestanding speakers in the back window that I already had lying around from another project and it works like a charm. The speakers I used in the back window take a bit away from the vintage look, but it's a decent trade-off as the car's naturally beautiful dash looks unspoiled and the sound is surprisingly good.

Pos Ground or using the car it self as pos side of the battery as the feed side have it's advantages , One thing is that you dont need relays at all . Putting lets say the headlight switch on the Neg side elemates the need of a relay . This means less connectors and wires . There is no advantages of neg ground or 12 volts ether . There is really no need of etronic IGN or a powered on coils ether . We could use Mags instead . This leaving the only reasons for a bat is to start the car if it needs an electric starter . All other electeric to power everything can be powered by a gen or alt and a capacitor with a regulator . all this crap they have put on these cars is really BS . You still have AC , Radio , computer , lights as a modern car . Yes a 12 volt system is a bandaid on older 6 volt cars . So lets get to electric and modern cars !!! I mean up to date cars now . What we have now and what we learned over the years . We dont even needs a battery at all . The super capacitors could replace the bat . They are cheaper to make with little wast and polutants .
