The part that goes into the hole in the body has an angle cut just like the handle bars on a bicycle when you tighten it up it expands in the hole and holds in place

My generator on my 29 DeSoto decided to break the rear housing so I put a 6 vt GM one wire alternator on it best thing I ever did, the battery is is charged back up before I get to the end of the block.(I just don't open that side of the hood)
I figured while i wait for my electronic conversion to come in the mail Iwould adjust the carb.what do the mean adjust until I hear a popping noise while rapidly opening the throttle.
Took it for a 20 mile drive today ran like a new one got 6 blocks from home started acting up again,left it sit with the hood up for 20 min started it made it home looked at the points again and they were starting to burn again pulled the condenser apart ( i had sent it off to be fixed once before it wasn't the same mf) going to mount a newer style on the outside and see how it does then.More to come.
Well I dressed the points again and took it for a drive just now it never missed a lick.Had the top down and ended up in a cloud burst man did I get wet !!!! Don't know what I did but it seems to be fine now.Thanks everyone. Rick & the Chicken
