<p>[QUOTE="KikoBlueEyes, post: 3242119, member: 8363"]This is how I learned to work on old cars. In the late 1970's, I bought a '59 sloped back Volvo, which wasn't running. I stared at the engine for about an hour and then I realized that the coil had 12 volts written on the tag. It was a 6 volt car! I replaced it and it ran like a charm. The context of this is that when I was in college, I took some aptitude tests and I scored almost a "0" on mechanical. This is why I suggested you take pictures as you are taking it apart. Since I had no talent, I had to rely heavily on photos and manuals until I learned. I eventually almost fully restored a '62 Volvo. So take heart, put your mind to it and you can master this.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
