Thread: On The Hook Two

Thanks Ken,
I sure hope you get it fixed soon. I have a true story that happened to me. 1968 I was driving home from work in my 57 Chevy 2dr. ht. All of a sudden the loudest backfire and the engine died. It was on a busy expressway coming out of Chicago no less.
I thought I blew it up had it towed to a friends garage, I was single but had married friends that had garages. Another friend had a 56 Chevy 2dr. wagon not a nomad but a 2dr. I bought the wagon for the engine, I think at that time maybe $100 I pulled the engine myself and took the engine out of the 57 my self. I worked all night long on the switch. Before I actually pulled the engine from the 57 I noticed a wire was off the coil. I had everything disconnected and ready to come out. I was so upset I said to myself I’m not stopping I’m switching anyway.

I have always heard start at the basic’s but it seems like I always think the worst first.

I see someone is having trouble with the knee good luck to her the knee can be very painful.
I had a motorcycle accident 1969 and it’s been bad ever since, 5 surgery’s now it needs to be replaced but I just hate to go through another surgery, I need 4 but at my age I’m not too eager to go.

I think I will give mine also, the Doctor's can't believe I'm able to use my right arm it is so bad. Every morning I tell my wife I can't do this anymore, the back, both arms, both knees, left wrist was eggshell cracked. But you read about Chris, and he keeps me going. Let me know when you plan on going maybe we can save our wives some money.

There goes my wife’s discount

Dave-I checked that and it only had .005 of movement, Robot said anything under .010 was good. Turn Left and go fast, that's funny.

Richard-What a story, I think I would of shot myself after all that work!! Thanks, she is going in again next week.

Dave- I'm with you, and I hope my check bounces

Matt- I checked that real good and I have good clearance, it's tight but know contact.

Well, I got a new rotor this morning. Went by the hardware store and picked up some set screws, and put it together. Drove it about 20 miles and it's still running. So maybe they are right it is being pulled up into the cap from centrifugal force.
Ken

The way the rotor conductor is bent downward will cause a slight upward couple at the conductor anchor point in the rotor due to rotation. Are there dimples for the set screws to seat in the shaft? That would be the optimum for making sure it holds.
