The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area The Electrical Bay Free Booklet - ' Better Ignition ' by Delco Remy - nice read - Illustrated

Greetings everyone at Stovebolt,

I just obtained this old ( 16 ) page booklet
printed by Delco Remy.
It is fully illustrated on every page.

Title: Better Ignition

Nice photo of Delco Remy plant workers on inside
front & rear cover.
Covers all aspects of Delco Remy ignition.
Loads of old time tips.
I found it quite interesting.

So, I posted a teaser photo of the first
few pages at photobucket. These are jpeg files.
Not the best quality.
photobucket does not allow pdf files.

Private email me with your email address
and I'll send you a much better quality
file in a PDF file in a return email.
Or if you like just reply with your email address.
Just save it to your desktop or
wherever you like.

I just checked my PDF file...it reads
really well with Adobe Reader.

File size is 7.50mb .
Each page has been scanned & cropped
to 800 pixels wide.
Should work with virtually any monitor.

( 20 ) pages in all...Front cover/inside
front cover. ( 16 ) pages of text & illustrations.
Rear cover/inside rear cover.

In my opinion this is late 1940's - early 1950's.

The best part it's free !

Sample @ photobucket below:

I'd really appreciate it if none of you take my
pdf file & put it up on ebay.
It's my pdf file that I made ...for the benefit of fellow stovebolters.


If there's interest, I'll post up another
Delco Remy printed booklet: Generators / Regulators
also from the late 1940's / early 1950's.

George -

This is what "Stovebolting" is all about!

Thanks for taking the time and effort to scan the Delco-Remy booklet. Yes - I would like to have a .pdf it. I am sending you a PM with my email address.

This looks like it would make a good link for the Lots O' Links page ???

You'd probably get more traffic to them there.

16 pages is a lot of work but you've got a nice layout.

Let me know (editor@stovebolt.com), if you want us to make a link.

I'd like to post it in your lots of links page.
I'll send you my ( 20 ) page pdf. file

Thank You,

George -

I received your email with the Delco Remy .pdf a few minutes ago. You did an excellent job of scanning and producing the .pdf. It's a good addition to my files of original GM publications.

The technical information explains things that I never understood. The service info shows that I am a bit lax on servicing my distributor.

Thanks for making the manual available to us.

- Lonnie

George, I'd be happy to receive the Delco files. I will PM you with my email. THANK YOU.

George have you considered sending this to Keith Hardy at
TOCMP (The Old Car Manual Project)? It's fellows like you that
have made that project what it is today, i.e., one of, if not
the most valuable reference archives for the restoration community.

Denny,

I've sent Keith other manuals years ago.
I'll send him this one too.

This works great with Adobe Reader.
Tell everyone what you think after
You receive the pdf. file.

Great book, full of information.

George,

Thanks for the PDF, good stuff and much appreciated.

Great George, was unaware that you knew about Keith's project.
I've seen many, many familiar names listed as contributors from
all of the truck and car forums. I'd be lost with out that
reference, I refer to it whenever I have a question, which is
dang near every day.
I'll be watching my email, dint see it there this morning.
Thanks again,

Talking about TOCMP reminds me, Keith, Peg and John are due a
little end of summer help with the electric bill, I gotta see
if my "big old wife" left anything in the cookie jar.

Denny, Sent you a copy last night at 11:32 pm.

I'll forward the original email again to you.

Denny,

After seeing this post, I sent an email to Keith. I think he's been a bit under the weather. He will be back "on the boat" in November, and he will resume working on the manuals project then.

It sure would make sense to collaborate with him with all these manuals and stuff. We have things people have sent to us that we can forward on to him also. Perhaps give him a little more prominence on our site (a/k/a ... a little square). I just wanted to be sure it wouldn't overwhelm him.

Hope to see this happen before the end of the year. And perhaps see how we can help him with what he's doing.

Peg

George, THANK YOU for the files.

Denny, I made my electric bill payment last week!! ...and ditto on Keith's work. He has done a great job to.

George. Thanks for the files. Well done and much appreciated. Looking for future books.
Bill

Thanks for the files.

Been in the barn for the whole weekend and just got to my email,
got it George, thanks a bunch.
Now all I have to do is find the time to look it over.

Denny G

Thanks for the files. They are nice and easy to read. Now I can use them.

I'd like a copy as well. I tried to send you a pm but I get a not allowed message, my email is in my profile.

Thank you.

Thanks George, these should come in handy.

George, thanks for the pdf. It has some very good info.
thanks again.
Dave

Hey George, THANKS for the booklets. Like the rest of the bolters....I appreciate the folks that share and kudo's to you!!!

George, Thanks for the pdf files of the booklets. Interesting reading and its enjoyable to view "vintage" technical documents. There is a real style to how information was presented then that seems to be lost.

Thanks again,

Bill

Thanks for sharing this George ! A great job and fun read .
Rick

Thanks for the file George. It is great

Regards

George, THANK YOU!! These are great resources. I haven't completely read the two books, but from a fast scan of them, I now understand how a coil works and the importance and function of the condenser. Thanks again! John

George - many thanks!! People like you who are willing to share information are why I look at Stovebolt almost every day. I have learned so much about these trucks just from hanging around the site. I just purchased my truck in February this year, but I have gained an incredible amount of confidence and information from everyone.

George,
Thanks very much for providing these manuals. They're especially timely, since I think my voltage regulator just died last night on the way home from a badly needed ice cream run with grandson. Hopefully the generator manual will help me troubleshoot.
Thanks again!

George,
thanks for doing such a great job and for sharing the wealth!
thanks again
Curt

I'd like to have a copy. Thanks in advance.

Received the Delco Ignition booklet - great find. Thanks for sharing. Would also like the generator booklet if you don't mind sending.

Thanks again to New Guy, who has the generosity of an "Old Guy" trying to help a new guy. Thanks for the generator bulletin from DR. I'm sure I'll put it to good use, and sincerely appreciate you sharing.

George,

The booklets are great. Thanks for your efforts and making them available to the rest of us.
