John; I will double check my pics for the wire routing,i’m sure your right, thanks for bringing it up,Jason that is A stock generator,the face at the impeller has A little surface rust from the clean-up/rebuild,maybe that is why what looks different. I need to touch it up,thanks, Mark M

Mark - A person that puts stuff away when he’s done, IS A NEAT FREAK, got it. Pole barn catch all, yea right, I bet you could walk the aisles in the dark and not trip. The rest of us can find our tools the next time we need them, it just takes longer plus you find stuff you forgot about. You want to see “looks bad” my garage is it.
LOL,
Dick.

By the way, it’s very expensive to live in South Florida, what with the cost of Sun Screen these days.
Heh, Heh.

YUM! Looks like Deer Jerkey to me…Only thing better is Elk Jerkey…(Turkey is good too! Just makes you sleepy afterwards)
Soon that snow will fade away and that large Nuclear orb in the sky will appear and all will be right for you Mark!

Guys; Allright where was I,oh yea the plymouth.Well she is A L I V E !!! And well I might add.I wheeled her outside and ran it for some break in.The fellow I had rebuild the motor said run it about 1500-2000 rpm 20 to 30 minutes to break in the flat tappets,I am running Brad Penn SAE 30 “break in oil” high in zinc phosphorus.Oil pressure was steady at 50 lbs the motor was running surprisingly cool (normal) for A first run,they usually run a little on the hot side at first although the 160 thermostat I put in probably helps.Posted A few pics check it out bye for now Mark M

Photos show a beautiful day, and the positive report makes for an ideal closing
to this particular chapter of “Mark’s Winter of 59”.

Mark - I envy you, You are close to taking a ride in your beautiful car. A long wait for me! Would you share what paint you used for the engine and are the valve covers the same.
Dick.
