GOOD MORNING, My M has not been running well since Sandy. I pulled the plugs, carbon fouled, I pulled the dist, fly weights frozen. I freeded everything up, ordered and received new plugs, points, condensor, rotor, cap. All my TM's got destroyed in the flood. WHATS THE POINT GAP AND PLUG GAP?? THANK...

GOOD MORNING, My M developed a knock after two years of great performance, still cant figure out why. I pulled the eng/trans without pulling the fenders,was not bad at all. #6 connecting rod bearing was the culprit. When I pulled the piston I found a broken ring, so I pulled all the pistons, the res...

I HAVE BEEN OFF LINE FOR AWHILE, GOT HIT HARD BY SANDY, I LIVE IN BREEZY POINT. I PUT MY M ON WHAT I THOUGHT WAS HIGH GROUND, NOT QUITE HIGH ENOUGH. WE HAD ABOUT 6 TO 8 FEET OF WATER COVER OUR PART OF ROCKAWAY BEACH. WHEN I GOT BACK TO THE M, AND MY DAILY DRIVER, FORD TAURUS WAGON, I NOTICED THE TAU...

GOOD MORNING, I removed and replaced my gen/voltage reg with a single wire delco. I thought the gen/voltage had gone bad as it was not charging. Upon removal I saw that the wires from the rear plug of the voltage reg had broken. The gen/voltage reg were working fine and I never had a problem until t...

GOOD MORNING, I got my single wire delco installed yesterday. She lined up pretty good using the existing lower gen mounts; a threaded rod thru both mounts, shaved a bit off the alternator case, and shaved a little off the adjusting bracket and got volts!!! Dontknow what to do about the alt pulley. ...

THANKS FOR THE THOUGHTS; I already altered some engine room components, elect fuel pump, elect wipers. so a single wire delco is what I had in mind.
THANKS
BOB

I was able to put a multi meter to my M and determined that the gen/voltage reg is not putting out. 24.85 volts eng/ign off. 23.63 volts eng running at about 1200-1500 rpm's. If I remember correctly, from my younger days, the voltage reg has points under the cover, they used to stick. My question: s...

I had my toneau cover made by a local (BROOKLYN, NY) marine canvas guy. He had to patten the cockpit then sew up the cover. Its made from sunbrella; works great. I would be willing to send it out, this winter, so it could be copied. if anyones interested. I had it made a couple of years ago and I th...

THANKS GUYS, HOPEFULLY I'LL GET TO IT THIS AFTERNOON. THE BEACHES HERE JUST OPENED TO OFF-ROAD VEHICLES, I WANT TO GET TO THE OCEAN AND CATCH SOME BASS.
AGAIN THANKS
BOB

GOOD MORNING,
I took the M for a ride yesterday and noticed that the volt meter was not showing a charge. i did not have time to open the hood and do a visual. What should I be looking for other than a loose connection?? How do I trouble shoot the gen/voltage reg??
THANKS
BOB
