normal operating temperature, accelerate at full throttle from 8 miles per hour in
high gear. A "ping" should be noted at 10 to 15 miles per hour. If no "ping" is heard,
loosen the advance diaphragm screw (G), Fig. 24, on 6 cylinder models and rotate
distributor body in a clockwise rotation one graduation mark at a time until the "ping"
is heard. On 8 cylinder models, loosen clamp screw (G), Fig. 27, and rotate distributor
body counter-clockwise one graduation mark at a time until "ping" is heard. Under no
circumstances, however, should the pointer on the rear engine support be more than 1
inch (on 1st short mark) before the U.D.C. 1-6/mark on 6 cylinder flywheels or 3/4
inch before (on 2nd short mark) the U.D.C. 1-8/mark on 8 cylinder flywheels.
If the "pinging" is heard at speeds above those previously mentioned, retard the
spark timing by loosening the clamp screw and rotate distributor body in opposite
direction, one graduation mark at a time until the proper setting is obtained.
HEADLAMPS
All Hudson models employ the headlighting system known as "Sealed Beam," in
which the light source, the reflector, the lens, and the gasket are all assembled in one
securely sealed unit. See Fig. 29. When the filament burns out or the lens breaks, the
entire unit is discarded and a new one installed, thereby assuring maximum lighting
efficiency throughout the life of the car.
"Sealed Beam" headlamps provide two
separate and distinct beams, giving con-
siderably more light than has been pro-
duced in the past.
1. A country (upper) beam is provided
to illuminate evenly for a consider-
able distance ahead of the car. This
beam is for use on the open high-
way when no other vehicles are ap-
proaching.
2. A traffic (lower) beam is also pro-
vided and is low enough on the
left side to avoid glare in the
eyes of oncoming drivers. It is in-
tended for use on heavily traveled highways and should always be used when
meeting other vehicles. This beam is designed so that it does not throw any
dazzling light into the eyes of the approaching driver under any condition of car
loading. At the same time distribution of light is such that the right side of the
road is illuminated as far ahead as is practical without causing glare on curves.
Hudson's "Sealed Beam" headlamps have been designed to insure the motorist of
maximum safety and comfort for night driving, but to obtain this safety for himself
and for others the motorist must be willing and anxious to use his headlighting
equipment in the manner intended. Good drivers are always courteous.
