Hi guys! Just got back from a show. What a great day! I was so busy talking about Crustine and looking at cars I didn't remember to take photos! Then it was time for awards(Crustine won Best Under Construction again!) and it was over! Day flew by! haha But here is a quick photo I took of my group.

Had some time this evening so I installed the new to me clock. Looks good! Now I need to hook it up and see if it works.

Cape Codder · 06-29-2016, 06:00 AM

Those old clocks are actually mechanical with an electric winder. Inside is a set of contact points that get dirty or corrode and may need a little filing . When the points close it creates a electromagnet that pulls the winder and opens the points the clack runs mechanically till the points touch and rewind again. Pretty basic ,I am no clock repair man but have fixed a few of those over the years. They usually have an adjuster to speed up or slow down as needed.

That is cool TJ!

Well I have been driving Crustine Ever day. She's been running like a top! So....I figured I needed something to do on it and found this MSD box. It's an ignition control that gives off several sparks instead of one. Pretty cool, can't hurt to try it I don't think!

Johnny_Lamebridge · 07-21-2016, 10:53 AM

Nice... looking forward to see if you feel a difference in everyday driving.

You're going to miss that "unburned fuel" smell coming out of exhaust pipes.

lol! Didn't do to bad before either! Checked the plugs awhile back before I had installed the box and they were burning pretty darn clean. Gonna check them now and then gap them wider.

TJ's Chevy · 07-30-2016, 12:43 AM

Well Crustine is gonna have her first "long" trip tomorrow(Saturday). Heading 40 miles to be in an all day car show. Supposed to be over 100 degrees and there may be no shade accept what we have for coverage. lol I am well stocked up on tools and have 4 spare quarts of oil. Just drained a few quarts this evening and refilled with straight 30 and a quart of lucas. Also gonna have spare water just in case. She tends to run at a quarter on the temp gauge so I think we'll be fine on the way up for sure...way back...she may get a bit warmer. haha Leaving at 6 AM sharp and meeting a buddy of mine in his 48 stude half way...then we're meeting another buddy of mine in his 65 gmc one ton burb and heading to the show. Wish us luck! Should be a great day. Will try an get lots of pictures.

**Palf70Step** · 07-30-2016, 06:21 AM

Ta2Don · 07-30-2016, 06:29 AM
