All,
Quick question on adjusting valves on a 216 engine. Do you adjust by manually
rotating the engine through valve cycle or can you adjust while the engine is
running?
Seems like I've adjusted a F*rd Falcon 6 while it was running. But not sure if
that would apply here.
Thanks,
Gary

Had the same problem on my '39, no charge. Yesterday, I did this:
Jumper the FIELD connection (with generator field wire attached) on the
regulator to ground. Start the engine and rev it to a 30-35 mph driving
speed. If the AMP meter swings over in positive territory, your regulator
is history. That was the problem with mine. New regulator is in place and
all is well!
