SERVICE PROCEDURES
LUBRICATION
All internal working parts of the auto-pilot are
equipped with self-lubricated bearings, which have
been factory lubricated for the service life of the unit.
TESTS
The following mechanical and electrical tests will
aid in isolating and correcting malfunction conditions
for the auto-pilot. Service Diagnosis procedures must
be followed to make certain the malfunction is in the
auto-pilot unit and not in some other component of
the system. 6 4 x 142
If the malfunction cannot be definitely isolated, it
is recommended that the tests and adjustments be Fig. 2-Auto Pilot Dust Shield

drive gear (depth of mesh) is determined by the lo-
cation of the bearing cup shoulders in the carrier and
by the portion of the pinion back of the rear bearing.
The thickness of a pinion spacer washer suitable for
the carrier can be determined by using Tool C-758.
(1) Reverse the carrier in the stand and install
gauge block SP-528 on the end of the tool, (Fig. 28),
securing it to the tool with the Allen screw. The flat
portion of the spacer should be facing the differen-
tial bearing pedestals and the offset of the spacer (or
the large portion) toward the center of the carrier.
Tighten the screw with an Allen wrench.
(2) Position the arbor SP-561 (part of Tool C-758)
in the differential bearing pedestals of carrier (Fig.
29). Center the arbor so that an approximate equal
distance is maintained at both ends. Position the dif-
ferential bearing caps and attaching bolts on the car-
rier pedestals. Between the arbor and each cap insert
a piece of .002 inch feeler stock and tighten cap bolts
securely. Fig. 30-Determining Spacer Thickness

cannot be forced between the two surfaces by hand,

might feel loose.

CLEANING AND INSPECTION
Wipe or brush clean (dry) the metal portions of the
brake shoes. Examine the lining contact pattern to de-
termine if the shoes are bent. The lining should show
contact across the entire width, extending from heel
to toe. Shoes showing contact only on one side
should be replaced. Shoes having sufficient lining but
lack of contact at toe and heel should be measured for
proper grind.

The voltage regulator is connected in the field cir-
cuit between the battery and the field terminal of the
alternator. One terminal of the regulator is marked
“IGN” and the other is marked “FLD.” The “IGN’
terminal of the regulator is connected to the coil side
of the ignition switch so that the field circuit is com-
pleted only when the ignition switch is turned “ON.”
The voltage regulator (Fig. 4) has two sets of con-
tacts using a common single armature. The upper and

lower stationary contact brackets are mounted on a
molded plastic bracket which is attached to the regu-
lator frame by a screw. (Fig. 5) The upper contact
bracket is connected to the “IGN” terminal bv a fusi-

SPARK PLUGS
To insure peak performance, spark plugs should
be removed, cleaned, tested and regapped periodically,

SERVICE PROCEDURES
Testing
Touch a jumper wire from relay “S” terminal to

button contact ring, the grounding of the steering
column, or in the wire from “S” terminal to the horn
button. If the horn fails to blow, connect a jumper
wire from the terminal to “H”terminal. If horns op-
erate the relay is faulty. If horns fail to operate, diffi-
culty is in the wire to the horns, in the horns, the wire
to horn relay “B” terminal or in the grounding of the
steering column.
Adjusting

HYDRAULIC TAPPETS

(1) Before disassembling any part of the engine to
correct tappet noise, check the oil pressure and the oil
level in the oil pan. The pressure should be 45 to 65
pounds at 1000 RPM. Fig. 7 9 4 n s t a l l i n g Valve and Cup Seals

than one tappet will be noisy. When oil level and leaks
have been corrected, the engine should be operated
at fast idle for sufficient time to allow all of the air
inside the tappets to be bled out.
Tappet Noises
(1) To determine the source of tappet noise, oper-
ate the engine at idle with the cylinder head covers
removed.
(2) Feel each valve spring or rocker arm to detect
the noisy tappet. The noisy tappet will cause the af-
fected spring and/or rocker arm to vibrate or feel

The Holley carburetors used on the 225 cubic inch

performance) R-3058A with manual and automatic
transmissions are serviced the same as the previously

service procedures are identical on all Holley carbu-

If a new shaft should be installed in an old worn

SERVICE PROCEDURES
Adjustments
Two adjustments are provided in the steering gear FILLER P L U G C R O S S SHAFT
(Figs. 2 and 3). The worm bearing preload adjustment,
and the ball nut rack sector gear mesh adjustment.
Before the correct adjustment can be made at the
ball nut rack and the sector gear, it must be deter-
mined that the worm bearing pre-load is properly ad-
justed.
The worm bearing pre-load adjustment is controlled
by the worm thrust bearing adjuster which threads
into the housing at the upper end of the wormshaft.
The cross shaft is integral with the sector gear and
the sector gear meshes with the rack teeth on the re-
circulating ball nut. Adjustment at this point is con-
trolled by the cross shaft adjusting screw which ex-
tends through the housing cover.

WHEEL AND TIRE RUNOUT
Wheels and tires may be measured for both radial
and lateral runout. Radial runout (eccentricity) is the
difference between the high and low points on the
tread of the tire; while lateral runout is the “wobble”
of the wheel and/or tire.
WHEEL BALANCE
The need for balancing the wheels is indicated by

Rear tire pressure on heavily loaded station wagons should be increased 6 psi from that shown above.
For sustained highway speeds, long trip driving, or trailer towing increase inflation pressure 4 psi front and rear from
specified pressures.
Oversize tires on station wagons use same pressure as specified. For 15" tires used in place of 14" tires uso 24 psi
front and rear.
