So would it be safe to say that the capacitor may have been added to my coil bracket (pic that BillOhio posted #8) at some time? and most likely for the purpose to preserve the points ?The capacitor for the points is located on the plate under the distributor cap. The one on the coil was for noise suppression on the radio.
Yes, it wouldn't allow me to post in that forum... go figureInstructions for posting to the "Survivor Cars" Forum.....Very first post.
Still down..I will host them for awhile on my DropBox account....
I think I have an idea here- what if the shifter was hitting the front of the console shifter plate when going into reverse, first or third gear position? By adding a "Spacer" you could move the shifter handle back enough to clear the console plate.Yup....with the transmission levers in neutral position and the alignment rod inserted into the shifter gates the nuts on the swivel can be in only one position for perfect alignment. Putting the spacer behind the swivel just moves the nut back while the swivel is still in it's same alignment state.
On second thought, this would not be beneficial since both adjustment nuts are movable--
I'm starting to wonder if they were actually put on each of the rods and used to help avoid torque loading the rod when the rear nut was tightened to adjust the length. But the part is listed as a "Spacer" and only drawn up on one of the rods??? Seems to make no sense.The part number is indeed only noted on one rod but it appears to me that it is drawn in on all three of the rods.....kinda faint but it seems to be there. I have a collection of Muncie shifters and rods and one set has the spacer on all three rods.
