FLYWHEEL HOUSING ALIGNMENT

Alignment of the flywheel housing bore and rear face with the engine should be checked as a possible cause of any of the following troubles: excessive transmission gear wear, transmission jumping out of gear, especially third gear, drive line vibration, excessive pilot bushing wear, noisy release bearing, or excessive clutch spin time.

1. With the clutch release bearing removed, install the indicator pilot tool shown in Fig. 1.



2. Clean the faces of the flywheel housing bolt bosses, and remove all burrs, nicks, and paint from the mounting face of the housing.



3. Install the dial indicator on the pilot and adjust the holder so the button will contact a circumference just inside of the transmission mounting holes (Fig. 1).



4. Push the flywheel forward to remove crankshaft endplay. Set the dial indicator face to read zero.



5. Remove the spark plugs to alleviate compression.



6. While forcing the flywheel forward, rotate the crankshaft through one revolution and note the point of maximum runout. Mark runout on the face of the housing as detailed in Steps 1 and 2 of the Dia-L-Igner instructions (Fig. 2).



7. Position the dial indicator to check bore alignment (Fig. 1). The bore must be clean and free of burrs, nicks, and paint.



8. Pull the crankshaft through one revolution. Note the indicator reading and mark the maximum point of runout on the face of the housing as detailed in Steps 3 and 4 of the Dia-L-Igner instructions (Fig. 2).



9. Remove the dial indicator from the crankshaft and the housing.



10. Select the Dia-L-Igner pilot (Fig. 3) which will fit snugly in the bore of the flywheel housing.



11. Press the pilot into place on the locator on the back of the dial.



12. Position the Dia-L-Igner on the face of the housing (Fig. 4) with the pilot in the bore.



13. Rotate the face runout arrow to the positive face runout mark on the housing.



14. Without moving the face runout arrow, route arrow A until it is at the negative bore reading.



15. Slide arrow A to register the amount of bore runout on the - .010 – line of the white scale. Use the scale number to coincide with the pilot being used.

AUTOMATIC CHOKE THERMOSTATIC SPRING HOUSING ADJUSTMENT

1. Remove the air cleaner assembly (Part 10-8), heater hose and mounting bracket (if so equipped) from the carburetor, if they have not previously been removed. On the Autolite Model 4300 4-V carburetor, loosen the choke heat tube nut.
   
   The molded-in fitting on the thermostatic choke cover must be held with a wrench while the heat tube nut is turned.



2. Loosen the thermostatic spring housing clamp retaining screws. Set the spring housing to the specified (Part 10-11) index mark (Fig. 21) and tighten the clamp retaining screws.
   
   On the Autolite Model 4300 4-V carburetor, also tighten the choke heat tube nut while holding the fitting on the choke cover with a wrench.



3. If other carburetor adjustments are not required, install the heater hose and mounting bracket (if so equipped) and the air cleaner assembly (Part 10-8, Section 2) on the carburetor.
