Thank god for the Coil Over Plug system. No distributors, points, caps, rotors, wires, or dwell time to dick around with. Though, it does take away maintenance items to upsell.
The vintage ed and info films are still the best. The animation was odd yes, but the presentation and info was right on. This one and under the hood are two I remember seeing previously and aided me in picking up auto functionality much quicker. Fun to see this again. Thank you.
@uploadJ >My tach-dwell meter and timing light are both die cast chrome plated. With 1,2,4,6,8 cylinder on the T/D and dial advance on the timing light. They where nice enough to cover #1 inductive pick-up clamp led in a heat resistant material. I keep them in the top of tool box #2, just above the distributor wrenches. Why? Do you need to barrow them. They work great on lawnmowers, motorcycles and vehicle engines to ensure advance is active and max advance can be achieved. This is great for guys who’s engines crap out, spit and sputter before the end of a 1/4 mile run. You hear it often and they think it’s running lean. But they are wrong. As a retired Crew Chief, my day phone rings off the hook. When I take one on, I charge $250 to diagnose. I can’t and won’t try to keep up as many report the expense to the IRS. I won’t take those jobs. And carbs, wow. I turned down about 2 dozen a month. The vintage crowd, all period correct with OEM looking parts are driving me away from my own projects. But a wide-band O2 sensor and PICO scope to record air/fuel issues. What you do? I retired at 52, almost 11 years ago and have change my phone number twice. You see, guys like Jim Linder are out of the fuel injector business and other buddies of mine quit completely leaving a large crowd out there, with no one to keep their trophy winner vehicle running...

on film prints if there was ever a break you'd have to literally cut out a few frames to be able to splice it back together, creating a skip. that's what that is.
