rocketraider Posted February 19, 2023 Share Posted February 19, 2023 Back to top with these: This is a belt adjusting tool. Assemble it as shown, put the curved ends against the pulleys and then turn the hex piece to expand the tool to tension the drive belt. Combined with the Borroughs belt tension gage you get good proper tension on belts. Using the adjusting tool is the only way I can get proper alternator belt tension on some 80s Olds V8 engines.

rocketraider Posted February 19, 2023 Share Posted February 19, 2023 This one is a thermal limiter circuit diagnostic tester for GM airconditioning systems with superheat/low refrigerant pressure switches. Plug it into the harness in place of this thermal limiter fuse to diagnose why the fuse blew (my experience is they'll blow for no good reason on the hottest day of the year!).

Layden B Posted February 20, 2023 Share Posted February 20, 2023 Am going to give all of you the answer to this one up front as I doubt that but just a very few have ever seen one of these. It is a tire inflation gauge. It measures the deflection ( squash) of the tire at the ground and you inflate the tire for the correct profile! Automatically correcting for load. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rocketraider Posted February 20, 2023 Share Posted February 20, 2023 Tool on the left is marked Kent-Moore and the thing that looks like a flywheel turner appears to be Williams. They may just be sharing a tool roll. The other pieces look like gages or alignment tools of some type? Possibly to align flywheel timing marks? Whatever they are, very cool.😎 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dandy Dave Posted February 20, 2023 Share Posted February 20, 2023 (edited) What's this? It is based on a valve spring removal tool and is a manufatured tool. (Rimac). There are several more out there but know one seems to know its intended use. It expands when the cross handle is turned clock wise. Note the holes in the plates. One has washer wear marks.

Gunsmoke Posted February 20, 2023 Share Posted February 20, 2023 Dandy Dave said "What's this? It is based on a valve spring removal tool and is a (re) manufactured tool.". Obviously set up as a shop-made "spreader", could be used for many tasks which require holding a couple o layers apart, maybe light spring plies, prying off covers, holding steel panels apart for welding etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My first thought on the Williams tool was some type of spanner but most I've seen have pins instead of hooks. Until I looked in the McMaster-Carr link I'd never seen a spanner like the Kent-Moore piece- even in my Olds shop manuals. What are the knurled pins' function? It's a fascinating tool, especially since we don't know what it is or what it does!☺️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing to see here Peter, move along Thinking about it, we should have an automotive tool section/sub forum for showing different tools and the proper use for restoring our automobiles. It would help out folks to know the right tool for the job. The correct way to use them. And also knowledge about odd tools like these. I'm supprized we have not had a section for this.
