PRESTOLITE
DISTRIBUTOR
—
DAUNTLESS
V-6 and

HURRICANE
F4
ENGINE

The
Prestolite distributor on the F4
engine
is
mounted on the right
side
of the
engine
and is op­
erated by a coupling on the oil pump shaft, see Fig.
D-l,
which is driven by a spiral gear on the cam­
shaft. The spark advance is fully automatic, being controlled by built-in centrifugal
weights.
The Pres­

tolite
distributor on the V-6
engine
(Fig. H-8) is mounted at the
left
front of the
engine
on the tim­
ing chain cover. It is driven by a spiral gear on the
camshaft. The spark advance is fully automatic,
being controlled by built-in centrifugal
weights,
and by a vacuum advance system. While
some
parts of the distributor may be checked or replaced
with the unit mounted on the
engine,
it is
best
to periodically remove it for a thorough check. Infor­ mation covering the parts which can be serviced
without removal is
given
below.
The
Prestolite distributor installed on the V-6 en­

gine
is similar in construction to the distributor in­
stalled on the F4
engines
except
for the addition of

a
vacuum advance mechanism.
The
same checking procedures outlined in Par. C- 10a, are used for the Prestolite V-6 distributor with

exception
of specifications.
H-10. Distributor Cap

The
distributor cap should be inspected for cracks,
carbon runners and
evidence
of arcing. If any of

these
conditions
exists, the cap should be replaced.
Clean
any corroded high
tension
terminals.

H-11.
Rotor
Inspect the rotor for cracks or
evidence
of
excessive

burning at the end of the metal strip.
After a distributor rotor has had normal use the
end of the rotor will
become
burned. If burning is found on top of the rotor it indicates the rotor is
too short and
needs
replacing. Usually when this condition is found the distributor cap
segment
will 178

The
condenser
prolongs
the
life
of the distributor

points
by
preventing
arcing at the
contacts.
It
also
provides
a
hotter
spark by creating a reverse
surge

of current which rapidly breaks
down
the
magnetic

field of the coil by
demagnetizing
the core. Should
the
condenser
be leaky, a weak spark will result.

Be sure
condenser
is
mounted
firmly on the distributor for a
good
ground
connection.

Should a
condenser
tester
be available the capacity for
both
F4 and Prestolite V6
condenser
should
check from .25 to .28 microfarads. In the
absence

of
tester,
check by substituting a new
condenser.

H-13. Distributor Points
a. Examine the distributor
points.
If
they
show

wear,
poor
mating, transferred metal, or pitting,

then
new
ones
should be installed. Clean the
points

with a suitable
solvent
and a stiff bristled brush.
b. Check the
alignment
of the
point
for a full,
square
contact.
If not correctly aligned, bend the
stationary
contact
bracket slightly to provide align­
ment.

c. The
contact
gap should be set at .020"
[0,508
mm.],
on the F4 and .016"
[0,406
mm.] on the
Prestolite V6. Adjustment of the gap is accom­ plished by
loosening
the lock screw and turning adjusting eccentric screw until correct gap is
secured. Be sure that the fiber block on the breaker

arm
is resting on the
highest
point
on the cam while the adjustment is
being
made. Recheck the gap
after locking the adjustment.
d. Apply a thin film of cam lubricant to the cam to
lessen
fiber block wear.
e. Using Tool C-4094, check
point
contact
spring
pressure, which should be
between
17 and 20

ounces
[0,487
a
0,567
kg.] on the F4 and 17 to 22 oz.
[0,487
a
0,624
kg.] on the Prestolite V6.

Check
with a spring scale
hooked
on the breaker

arm
at the
contact
and pull at right
angle
to the
breaker arm. Make the reading just as the
points

separate. Adjust the
point
pressure by
loosening
the stud holding the end of the
contact
arm spring
and slide the end of the spring in or out as
neces­

sary.
Retighten the stud and recheck the pressure. Too low a- pressure will
cause
engine
missing at
high
speeds.
Too high a pressure will
cause
rapid
wear of the cam, block, and
points.

Shaft
H-14. Governor Mechanism
The
centrifugal advance mechanism consists of

an
automatic cam actuated by two spring con­
trolled centrifugal weights. As the
speed
of the distributor shaft increases with
engine
speed, the

weights
are thrown outward against the pull of the springs.
This
advances the cam causing the contact
points
to
open
earlier and thus advancing the

spark.
The centrifugal
type
governor should be checked for free operation. Hold the governor shaft
and
turn the cam to the
left
as far as possible

and
release it. The cam should immediately return to the original position without drag. Should a distributor
test
fixture be available it is

best
to make a check through the entire advance
range, following the instructions of the fixture manufacturer.

The
vacuum control unit is mounted separately
on the
outside
of the distributor housing on the
V6
Prestolite distributor.
The
vacuum control unit consists of an enclosed
spring-loaded diaphragm linked mechanically to the distributor. The air-tight side of the diaphragm
is connected to the intake manifold side of the

carburetor.
Under part throttle operation, the in­take manifold vacuum is sufficient to actuate the
diaphragm and cause the distributor to rotate in
its mount, thus advancing the spark and increasing fuel
economy.
During acceleration or when the
engine
is pulling heavily, the vacuum is not suf­
ficient to actuate the diaphragm and the distributor
is held in the retarded position by a calibrated

return
spring which bears against the vacuum
diaphragm.

H-15.
Distributor Removal

a.
Remove high-tension wires from the distributor cap terminal towers, noting the order in which
they

are
assembled to ensure correct reassembly.
b. Remove the primary lead from the terminal

post
at the coil.
c. Unlatch the two distributor cap springs and re­
move
the cap.

d.
Note
the position of the rotor in relation to the
base.
This
should be remembered to facilitate re­ installing and timing.
e. Remove the screw holding the distributor to the

crankcase
and lift the assembly from the
engine.

H-31. Coil
— V-6 Engine

The
sealed coil
does
not require any special service
other than keeping the terminals and wire connec­
tions clean and tight.

The
positive (+) terminal of the coil is connected
to the ignition switch through the ballast resistor,
and
is also connected directly to the starter
sole­

noid to by-pass the resistance during cranking of
engine.
The
negative (—) terminal is connected to the

distributor.
The secondary (high tension) terminal
is connected by a short cable to the center terminal
in
the distributor cap.

Always
make certain the coil wires are connected to the proper coil terminals to ensure correct
coil
polarity.

Note:
The ignition coil and ballast resistor must
be of the same manufacturer. Ballast resistors
and
ignition coils of one manufacturer are inter­changeable with both units of the other. H-32.
Ballast
Resistor

•
V-6 Engine.

An
ignition ballast resistor is in series with the
primary
winding of the coil. The ballast resistor
helps regulate the flow of
primary
current through­
out the speed range. At low
speeds
when the con­
tacts remain closed longer, the ballast heats and
increases in resistance, thereby limiting the flow of

primary
current. At higher
speeds
when the con­
tacts remain closed for shorter periods of time, the ballast
cools
and thereby decreases in resistance
to allow more
primary
current and reduce the
fall

off
in
available voltage.
During
starting, the resistor compensates for the lowered battery
voltage
re­
sulting from the starter load and permits an in­ crease in
primary
current, resulting in a higher
secondary
voltage
for starting.
The
only
test
required of the ignition ballast re­
sistor is a continuity check. Characteristics of the ballast produce wide variations in resistance with
changes in ballast temperature. Therefore, check­ ing
voltage
drop across the ballast would be mis­
leading.

Caution:
Never make a connection that connects
the ballast across the battery as this
will
burn
the ballast resistor winding.

H-33.
Spark
Plugs

Clean
and gap
spark
plugs as described in
Par.
C-4.
Inspect them for excessive burning and erosion of
electrodes, blistering of porcelain at the firing tip,

black
deposits, or fouling. These conditions indicate
that the plugs have not been operating at the cor­

rect
temperature.

Note:
Prolonged idling just before removing and
checking the plugs should be avoided as it may
produce false indications.

Spark
plug operating temperatures may have been
too hot, too cold, or normal as described.

a.
At too hot a temperature, the tip of the insulator
will
show
dark
spots
and blisters after fairly short service. As high-temperature operation is con­
tinued, the whole insulator
nose
will
discolor, show­
ing fused and blistered
deposits
near the electrode
as well as considerable erosion and burning of the
electrodes. After extreme service, the porcelain it­ self may be fused, cracked, and blistered at the tip.

The
electrodes
will
show extreme erosion and
burn­

ing and possibly even surface cracking.

Note:
If such cracking appears on certain plugs
after fairly short service, it may be caused by water
leaks in the associated cylinders.
b. At too cold a temperature plug operation, in
the early
stages,
will
result in a
dull
black
sooting

of the plug.
This
condition frequently is found in new vehicles during the break-in period and is no
indication of trouble in this case. As the condition progresses, black
deposits
of oil and carbon build
up on the base of the shell and on the insulator

until,
in extreme cases, the space
between
insulator

and
shell may be almost completely filled. Excessive
electrode erosion
will
seldom be found in cases of cold plug operation. These indications can be pro­
duced by the use of an excessively
rich
air-fuel mixture and the carburetor should be checked if
this condition is suspected. Fouling
will
also be
caused by leaking rings or intake valve
guides
that
permit excessive oil to reach the combustion
chambers.
The use of a hotter plug
will
help
burn

away
some
of this fouling but the mechanical con­ dition of the
engine
should be corrected.
c. In normal temperature operation the plug
will
accumulate grayish-tan to reddish-brown
deposits

with
fairly uniform discoloration of the insulator
nose
and slight, localized electrode erosion. If the
insulator shows any blotches, blisters,
irregular
dis­
coloration, etc., look for hot-plug symptoms. Too
hot or too cold plug operation may be caused by
the use of plugs of other than the specified heat

rating
but if the plugs are as specified a hotter or 187

H

ELECTRICAL
SYSTEM
colder plug may be desirable. However, under- or
over-heating is usually caused by factors other than the type of
spark
plugs and the cause should be determined before changing plugs. The design of the
engine
calls for plugs equivalent to Champion

J-8
for F4
engines
and
A.C.
44S or
UJ12Y
Champ­

ion for the V6 engines, (as installed in production)
though any factor that consistently affects
engine
operating temperature may cause this requirement
to change. Overheating may be caused by in­ sufficient tightening of the plug in the head, which interferes with the flow of heat away from the firing

tip.
If this is the case, the plug gasket
will
show very
little flattening. Over-tightening, in
turn,
will
pro­ duce too easy a heat flow path and result in cold
plug operation.
This
will
be evident by excessive
flattening
and
deformation of the gasket.
Prevailing
temperatures, condition of the cooling system, and

air-fuel
mixture can affect the
engine
operating temperature and should be taken into consideration.
H-34.
GENERATOR
— F4
ENGINE

The
generator is an air-cooled, two-brush unit

which
cannot be adjusted to increase or decrease output. For replacement,
voltage
regulator and generator must be matched for
voltage
and capa­

city,
polarity, and common source of manufacture.
Otherwise,
either a
loss
of ampere capacity or a

burned
out generator
will
result. Generators for

these
vehicles are 12-volt. Par. H-l explains the 12-volt system. Refer to the specifications at the
end of this section for information on correct generator rating for a specific model series.
The
circuit
breaker,
voltage
regulator, and current-

limiting
regulator are built into one combination

unit.
Because the regulator and battery are part
of the generator
circuit,
the output of the generator
depends upon the
state
of charge and temperature
of the battery.
With
a discharged battery, the
output
will
be high, decreasing proportionally as the battery
becomes
charged. For service informa­
tion covering current regulator see Par. H-41.

H-36.
Generator
Maintenance

A
periodic inspection should be made of the charg­
ing
circuit,
Fig. H-l9. The interval
between
these
checks
will
vary
depending upon type of service.
Dust,
dirt
and high speed operation are factors 10541

which
contribute to increased wear of bearings

and
brushes.

Under
normal conditions a check should be made
each 6000 miles
[9.600
km.].

A
visual inspection should be made of all wiring,
to be sure there are no broken or damaged wires.

Check
all connections to be sure they are tight and

clean.

Should
the commutator be rough or worn the
armature
should be removed and the commutator

turned
and undercut. See Par. H-37.
The
brushes should slide freely in their holders.

Should
they be oil soaked or if they are worn to

less
than one-half their original length they should
be replaced. When new brushes are installed they should be sanded to provide
full
contact with the
commutator. Generators should not be checked for
output until the brushes are seated.

Brush
spring tension is important. High tension causes
rapid
brush and commutator wear while
low tension causes arcing and reduced output.
Test
the tension with a spring scale.
Check
the
specifications section at end of this section for

correct
spring tension for generator in question.
H-36.
Generator Disassembly
•
Refer to Fig. H-20:
Before beginning disassembly of the generator to

correct
electrical system malfunctions proceed with
inspection and
test
procedures as detailed in Par.

H-46
thru
H-62. If it is definitely determined that trouble exists within the generator, which ne­cessitates dismantling, proceed as follows. Remove the two frame screws in the commutator
end plate and remove the end plate assembly. Next
pull
the armature and drive head complete

from
the generator housing. Remove the generator pulley from the armature by removing the nut

and
washer. Do not
lose
the Woodruff key when
the pulley is removed. After this, remove the drive
end head assembly which includes the oil seal and
bearing.
To remove the bearing, remove the three
screws and lockwashers in the grease retainer and remove the retainer and felt washer, after which,
remove the bearing, oil guard and felt washer.
H-37.
Armature

If
the commutator is rough or worn,
turn
it down

in
a lathe. After turning, the mica insulation be­ tween the
segments
should be undercut to a depth of 34* [0,8 mm.].
To
test
the armature for a ground, connect one

prod
of a
test
lamp to the core or shaft (not on

bearing
surface) and touch each commutator
seg­
ment with the other prod. If the lamp lights, the

armature
segment
is grounded and the armature must be replaced.

To
test
for short in armature coils, a growler,

Fig.
H-21, is necessary. Place the armature on the growler and lay a thin steel strip on the armature

core.
The armature is then rotated slowly by hand

and
if a coil is shorted, the steel strip
will
vibrate.

Should
a coil be shorted the armature must be
replaced.

If
precision
test
equipment is available, the cus­

tomary
accurate
tests
can be made in accordance 188

Ignition
Switch

The
ignition switch serves both to energize the
ignition system and
engage
the starter switch.
The
ignition switch has four positions: (1) AC­

CESSORY,
(2)
LOCK,
(3) ON, and (4)
START. The
key must be in the switch to turn it to any position other than
LOCK,
and the key can be
removed only in the
LOCK
position.
In "ACC",
a connection is made from the battery

terminal
to the accessory terminal of the switch to
allow accessories such as the radio, blower and/or
windshield wiper to be operated with the ignition, fuel
gauge
and indicator light circuits off.
In "LOCK",
no accessory supplied through the
ignition switch can be operated. Also, the ballast
resistor (V-6
engine
only) circuit to the ignition
coil
(IGN) is grounded.
In
"ON", a connection is made from the battery

terminal
to the accessory terminal so that all
ignition switch supplied accessories can be operated. Also the battery is connected to the ballast resistor
(V-6
engine
only) leading to the ignition coil

(IGN).
From
this same terminal, a lead
into
the
instrument cluster energizes the fuel
gauge
and
indicator lights.
In "START",
all ignition switch supplied acces­
sories are temporarily disconnected. A connection is made to the starter solenoid lead. The charge

and
oil indicator lamps
will
light until the
engine
is started.
