Belt |
This belt is too long,
but can be used if need be:
Dayton 836347, V-79, S-2380
Napa (Gates) 5L390This one is correct but not available:
Napa (Gates) 5L385
(5/8" wide 38.5" long) (e)
Note: An earlier posting
here had 39" as the proper belt length. While this will work on
some cars, the correct length should be 38 1/2 inches. As far as
we know, no manufacturer has this available except as a "ribbed" belt,
which is an incorrect style. |

| Specific Gravity |
The specific gravity of a
fully charged battery as indicated by hydrometers should be between
1.275 and 1.300. The specific gravity of a fully discharged
battery will be approximately 1.150. A reading of all cells at
1.225 or more indicates that the batter is okay. (j) |

Gas Cap |
In order that the gasoline
will flow properly to the carburetor, there is a small hole in the top
of the filler cap on the tank, so that air can enter as the quantity
of gasoline in the tank is decreased. It is essential that this
hole be kept open. (j) |
