tor housing downward toward the gear to take up any end

play between the gear and the housing.

NOTE:
When testing distributors that have

their lower shaft support bushing located in the

engine block (6 cylinder engines), a special

adapter should be used to insure the shaft will

run true in its housing.

Test the distributor for variation of spark, correct

centrifugal and vacuum advance and condition of contacts.

This test will give valuable information on distributor

condition and indicate parts replacement which may be

necessary. Check the area on the breaker plate just

beneath the contact points. A smudgy line indicates that

oil or crankcase vapors have been present between the

points.

DISTRIBUTOR OFF-ENGINE TEST

The distributor's centrifugal and vacuum advance can

be checked in a distributor testing machine or synchro-

scope specially adapted or designed to accommodate this

type distributor. However, since this involves removing

the distributor from the engine, this test may be post-

poned until other system checks have been made. A dwell

reading cannot be obtained on this distributor and it is not

likely that the centrifugal or vacuum advance will be a

cause of trouble.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The four-speed synchromesh transmission incorpo-

rates helical gears throughout specially designed to pro-

vide high torque capacity without additional weight, and

gear teeth proportioned to operate at high speeds with

neither excessive heat generation nor excessive fric-

tional losses. Shafts, bearings, high capacity clutches

and other precision parts are held to close limits, pro-

viding proper clearances necessary for durability during

extended heavy usage.

The main drive gear is supported by a heavy-duty ball

bearing at the front end of the transmission case and is

piloted at its front end in an oil impregnated bushing

mounted in the engine crankshaft. The front end of the

mainshaft is piloted in a row of roller bearings set into

the hollow end of the main drive gear and the rear end

is carried by a heavy-duty ball bearing mounted at the

rear end of the transmission case in a retainer casing.

The counter gear is carried on a double row of rollers

at both ends while thrust is taken on thrust washers lo-
cated between the ends of the gear and the thrust bosses

in the case.

The two-piece reverse idler gear is carried on bronze

bushings while thrust is taken on thrust washers located

between the front of the gear and the back of the reverse

idler thrust boss and between the rear of the gear and the

reverse idler shaft boss in the case extension.

Gearshifting is manual through shift control rods to the

transmission cover shifter levers for first through fourth

gears,
and to the reverse lever located in the case ex-

tension. The shifter lever to the rear of the transmis-

sion cover controls first and second gears while the

lever to the front controls third and fourth gears. All

four forward gears are fully synchronized. The trans-

mission may be used as an aid in deceleration by down-

shifting in sequence without double clutching. Reverse is

not synchronized, however, it is a helical gear to insure

quiet operation.
