Buddy worked in a shop when a minivan was towed in not running. Lady said it ran fine and when getting ready to go on a trip she told the boy to fill the engine with oil, well he did! clear to the top of the fill cap. I just bought a 1921 Chevy 490 touring car with only 15K miles on it,that had sat for about 5 years and had been driven into the hanger where it was stored. Owner had passed and while still alive he had a certified aircraft mechanic work in his cars to keep them running. I bought the car without hearing it run and when I got home with it I looked at the battery which was old. It was hooked up positive ground. Not good I thought and with the new battery It wouldn't fire up. I finally got around to looking at the points and they were so far out of adjustment there was a 1/32 inch gap at all times. There was no way it would fire like that. Adjusted the points so they would make contact at the low spot and break contact at the high spot, it fired right up, purred like a kitten and the charge showed a discharge when running! The original gauge had discharge on the right of the dial and the gauge that the mechanic had put in had discharge at the left of the dial. I got the right amp gauge for it, hooked it up right and all was fine. The aircraft mechanic had bragged about how good his work was when I bought it. I don't think I want to fly in his plane now! The 21 Chevy 490 on the other hand runs like a top, and drives like a dream! This car came from the desert southwest since it was new and not one speck of rust and even has the original muffler still in good shape!

Fortunately when you step into your shop and make that jump 50 years back in time to work with your old tractor, this concept goes out the window. Even so, when it comes to the charging system, people quickly revert to this idea and start replacing the major components one at a time until it works. The reason you don't find any decals in your replacement set wit
