Alternator and Ignition Timing Rebuild

This was literally a rebuild, nothing demanding at all. This is the start, with no camshaft or alternator seal installed.


I did the camshaft first


A spark plug socket was just the right size to push this back in:


Then I did the alternator seal. No suitable washer, so a blunt piece of metal was employed to push the seal in:


No Problem!


Then the rotor was put back on, and the screw tightened:


A teenage son held the flywheel stationary while I tightened the bolt:


Then the alternator just screwed in place


Then I replaced the advance/retard mechanism to the camshaft. This locks in place with an indent on the camshaft so you can't get it wrong:


Then the retaining holder goes on. You have to open the jaws of the advance/retard mechanism to get it it clip in place:


Then just tighted the bolt. Then add the sensor for the Dyna electronic ignition. It just pushes into place:

and is retained only by overlapping washers on screws that go into the nearby posts:
