This afternoon we had a nice visit from Al Gerisch (AACA Lifetime member) and his wife Mary Ann. They were travelling thru the area on their way home to NY. Al always met me on the show field at Hershey and gave me plenty of great advice on what the judges expect. And Al has many, many car and judging stories, I could just listen for hours. Anyway, we had a great couple of hours at the farm.
Al gave me pictures of some of his cars. He has a 28 Gardner, 53 Chevrolet, 62 Corvair convertible, and a 29 Chevy coupe. He also has several other cars. He and Mary Ann go on several east coast tours each year so look for him if you are on one of them.
Thanks for coming by Al.

The wire from the generator goes to the side of the ammeter where all other wires are attached and the other side goes to the battery directly.
If the old ammeter is defective do not connect anything to it.

29 chevy has a vacuum line in the left window riser that is metal comes out buy the wiper motor on the out side of the car.
Inside is a control valve that connects to the wiper and the intake manifold.
The car does not have a hole above the windshield as the windshield roles up to the roof.

use seal all available at advance auto parts. It is like old type plastic glue and it goes over rust.
To use it place some on a piece of paper large enough to easily cover the aria.
I have done this numerous times on chevy trucks that have out side of frame fuel tanks.

Jerry the wiper arm and blade can be replaced with out removing the wiper motor, it just hooks into the shaft and the spring goes over the shaft.
what is where the wiper control should be?
I highly recommend the VCCA webb site and joining VCCA

The copper wire is insulated , you will have to determan how much Resistance is in a given length and then how much total length of all the wire is to determan total resistance.
This type of wire was used on the back of older TVe picture tub sets and some of us ham operators have some.
