WendyDee Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 I need a little help. I picked up a spark plug cover for Betty, but this solenoid looking part is in the way of the mounting. Any idea what this is and if it can be removed or relocated? Thank you all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dave5088 Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 If your talking about the rectangle canister shaped thing on the left, i believe this to be your horn relay. I could be wrong. It wouldnt hurt to remove it to gain access, but if your horn works now, it wont if you discard that relay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Phillips Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 There should be a little U-shaped cut-out near the upper rear corner of the spark plug cover, to accommodate that sensor wire for what I believe is the temperature gauge. See photo of my '49 engine. Pete Phillips Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dave5088 Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 That is correct on the temp sender. The thing that seems like a wire with a spring coiled around it is a temp gauge line. I would think the line would gently fold flat against the head, then attach the spark plug cover. The coiled line will exit out the back of the now attached cover. Pete is right.
