Just
like with anything...if you spend enough time doing it you
tend to get good at it, and you learn a few shortcuts to make
your life easier. Having spent twenty plus years solving electrical,
cooling, and fuel related problems on all types of antique
and classic vehicles, I have "earned" a few tech tips that
I want to share with you. Check back
often, as
I will keep adding to the list as time allows. For more tech
tips, check out the Tech

During cold weather it is not uncommon for the older style of distributors with the grease cups to loose their ground. This is caused by the grease becoming thick in the bottom of the distributor and inslutating the ground to the distributor.
The solution is to connect a 16 gauge wire from the engine block over to the distributor housing, allowing for distributor movement. This will insure that your distributor is grounded at all times. Once jump started early in the morning your car seemed to start fine the rest of the day, now you know why.
