Car Battery & Merry Christmas/Happy Holidays!
Karen, I often clip the charger to the alternator, the big bolt goes straight to the battery +. But it does not sound good for that battery. Don't try the starter till the battery has time to pick up some charge.

Re: fuel cap - pressure relief or not?
HI Joe I can not answer your question with absolute certanity but I think the unvented cap is the one you need. I do know that when we still had emissions testing here. The cap was tested to make sure it held vacuum Those that did not failed. hope this helps John Kelsey Dayton Ohio TOA# 009 Joe Vahabzadeh wrote: All, Well, the 1989 Royale failed inspection for the fuel cap. Kind of surprising, considering that last inspection, the factory original one still passed - but it broke apart during the summer, so I had to get a new one. Needless to say, the fact that it failed already was kind of startling. Now, I am pretty sure I got it from Autozone, but when I went to their website, I saw two different ones listed.

OT--Car Battery & Merry Christmas/Happy Holidays!
I finally had a minute to get my Linc. set up on the charger, the Olds will be next once no rain. After climbing on the fiberglas front end, and hoping it didn't burst under my weight...I find that the stupid cables on the battery are totally covered with the clamps! I tried putting the charger on the extension of the bolts, the under hood light brightened right up, but the starter was making a horrible noise (not the usual clicking you might hear). The cells were mostly dry, just from sitting in garage, so I topped them off. So, does this mean I have to unclamp the posts and go for direct contact? Or is it battery replacement time? Thanks.

Re: Plug gap
My son re gapped them at .060 before he took me to work today. I really enjoyed the ride to work this morning. Of course this is the 67 Delta 88 Custom I'm talking about. .060 is right for HEI. On another note the plugs he took out, the tips have a rust color look to them, no build up of any kind all were basically clean except a reddish brown color. Anyone have an idea as to lean/rich or is it due to todays fuel. A reddish tint on the insulator is due to one of the modern fuel additives (I forget the name). drc
