Ricn, buy a good set of points, plugs, and condenser like blue streak. I would even change out the ignition wires.

Before replacing all those parts, run a points file or a piece of sandpaper thru the closed points. Doesn,t take much for them to corrode and not make contact like they should. Use a 12 volt test light to check for continuity of negative ground on both sides of the points when they are closed.

I agree with jjeff, I cut a piece of conveyor belt so it fits into each battery tray.

What do you use for ramps, to get it up into a trailer bed that sits that high ?

Awesome, getting closer and closer to the finish line. Happy to see you are getting the wheels powder coated. Such a beautiful car deserves the last few finishing touches to match the rest of your build.

Saw the main line, but don,t cut any other length off of it. Work the T into onto one side of the main line, and double clamp it, after heating one end. Lift the pipe a foot or so, and start the other side of the main line. Push down while wiggling the pipe and fitting, to work it into place. If...

So, did you actually get them to warranty the old batteries ?

You,re a man of many talents, and I really enjoy reading about the progress on this beautiful car. You,re getting there, one item at a time. Won,t be long now before you get it on the road.

Are you 100 % sure you have the firing order correct ? Remove the dist. cap, and check rotor cap rotation direction. Re-verify the spark plug wire installation on the dist. cap.

Remove the batteries from the tractor. Charge them to 100%. Then use a load tester to properly check the battery state. That helps determine if there is a problem on the tractor side, or the battery side.

Keep pushing the decision out on building the horse barn a year at a time, until the want of having horses dis-appears. You can thank me latter. LOL

Ah sorry, I completely missed the female part, hidden in the title. Ya, I might be tempted to grind down an old 1/2 short extension, so it just fits very snug into the female head.

Would using an adjustable wrench, tightened up as tight as possible, work for you ? Not much chance of that slipping off while using it .

i might have missed it in earlier posts, but is it well insured, like replacement cost ?
