a bobby pin) between the rubber
cup at the end of the spark plug
wire and the tubular metal con-
nector inside of it. If the spark
plug wire is wet or oily, wipe it
dry. Wrap a dry handkerchief or
facial tissue, folded several thick-
nesses, around the wire at least
three inches back from the end
and grasp the wire af this point.
Hold the bare wire about M1 inch
from the bare tip of the spark
plug from which you removed the
wire. When the engine is "turned over" a spark should iump across
the M inch space,
indicating
ample
current supply.
lf no spark
iumps, the dilticulfy is probably caused by a defective ignition part
and should be corrected by your Authorized Chevrolet Dealer.
COOLING
SYSTEM
When the cor will run but evidences serious overheating on the
temperature gauge in the instrument panel, fhere are several items
which may be checked.
(L)
Engine overheating will occur when the OIL LEVEL falls danger-
ously low. Check the oil level as cz matter of course.
(M)
low COOLANT
LEVEL will, of
course,
cause engine over-
heating. Determine
the cause of the
low coolant level and have
il corrected if necessary.
(N)
Check the
RADIATOR CORE. Clean
if if it is plugged with
bugs, leaves or other foreign material.
(O)
Condition of the FAN BELT
is very important, not only for en-
gine cooling buf also for proper
generator
operation. Check the
condition of the belt.
Replace it
if it is worn or frayed. loosen the
generator foward the engine to
remove and replace the belt.
Tighten the belt, whether new or
old, by loosening the
generator
bolts, prying with a
bar on
the
generator
unfil the belf is ten-
sioned properly, then refighten
the generator bolts.
(P)
Another cause of engine
overheating may be on inopera-
tive COOLING SYSTEM THERMO-
STAT. If the thermostat should fail
in fhe closed position, it will not
permit coolant* to circulate through
the system. ln such an emergency
the thermostat
may be removed
but
should
be
replaced
with a
properly functioning thermostat
as soon as possible.
