I've been running both batteries for a year when I had to buy two and couldn't return one. I agree a slow charge is best but I had a guy who stopped to help with one of those fancy chargers with the digital read out. It read 13 then I started it and it climbed up close to 14. when I got home I put it on a trickle charger and both batteries climbed to fully charged status within 10 minutes of hooking them up. Since I changed the connectors on the solenoid to switch wire it is turning over merrily but the startup is delayed and the idle rough. I'm now going to replace the belt and keep a eye on the charge, but look elsewhere (recheck plug tightness, mpc connectors, new points, etc.) to try and find the reason for the rough uneven idle...thank you...</font></div>

Jim, when you rebuilt my rear wheel cylinders on your driveway in<br>
2010, did you use a special "wheel cylinder hone" mounted to a drill<br>

Will you give a detailed description of the hone?<br>

Hi,<br>
I have been having some issues with my 1970 automatic fastback recently -<br>
the belt tension seems unacceptably loose. My generator is 1 year old,<br>
pulley and belt also one year old. The belt is a Continental 10x1005. I am<br>
using no shims at all and still have no traction when I try to turn the<br>
motor with the nut on the generator the generator just spins without moving<br>
the motor at all.<br>
<br>
<br>
I'm using the same belt, but I had to use 2 shims in between the pulley<br>
halfs to get the tension right. You might try the Gates belt number 3970<br>
instead.<br>

Your belt is a little longer than stock, but it's also a bit wider,<br>
which probably makes it okay. I have to put a finger on the belt to<br>
turn the ending with the generator pulley, too. That's normal.<br>
<br>
The OE belt size is 9.5 x 1000La. I don't know what the La stood for.<br>
<br>
The generator has no effect on idle speed. It sounds like your idle<br>
may be too slow, so look for a different problem.<br>

Get the dwell and timing right. Make sure the valves are adjusted<br>
right.<br>
<br>
Has your car been sitting for a long time? If so, your battery may<br>
need a loooong sloooow charge to get it back into shape. Do NOT try<br>
to do this quickly; that will just damage the battery. A slow charge<br>
that takes a week but gets to 14.2 V is what you're after. Do this at<br>
less than 1/2 amp; I like 50-100 mA.<br>

It's just a couple of fine stones on the end of spring loaded arms,<br>
with a flexible shaft to be driven by an electric drill motor. I<br>
lubricate the cylinder with brake fluid, stick the hone in there,<br>
spin it up, and work it back and forth for 10-15 seconds.<br>
<br>
I probably got mine at JC Whitney 40+ years ago. I'm sure you can buy<br>
them at most any FLAPS. Should be less than $10, or surely less than<br>
$20. I've probably worn out 3 sets of stones over the years, but<br>
replacments are cheap.<br>
