Dream "Battery Strap"

Anyone have a part number for this item? I can't seem to find a reference to it in the parts book ANYWHERE... ;-P

Thanks 48! I'll see what I can find. Maybe I'll get 2 of each thread pitch! ;-) Cheers! They're 4mm but the thread pitch is a crap shoot. They are either .75 or .7 depending on the vintage of the plate and the manufacturer. Those threads seem to strip pretty easily too. If you're chasing a thousandt...

What size are the points adjustment screws?

I'm not talking about the cross head 5x12 (0.9) points plate mounting screws that are in the parts diagram. I'm referring to the slotted screws not shown in the parts book that hold the actual contact breaker to the points plate and which we use to adjust the points gap. They seem smaller than 5mm (...

It had made it all the way out to .017" I remember having a stripped screw last time I wanted to adjust them and decided that since...

Since I have, from this forum and communication from outside the forum, three credible possibilities for this hot idle gone wrong situation, I'm going to try to address them all in the sequence requiring the least amount of work. These possibilities are: float height (which would mak...

So I took it out today. Sadly, it started a little easier than I was hoping. It was starting to behave funny at idle again around 12 miles out.
