We dropped the girl off at college yesterday, and it was the morning after a night of freezing rain. So many people getting onto the highway without cleaning off their vehicles. Sheets of ice flying off of vehicles all day long. I would see an ice sheet fly up into the sky, maybe 4-5 cars ahead, and all the following cars would hit their brakes before it would come crashing back down, so I would have to slow down too. I never got hit by any, so don’t know if it was causing any damage. It was fairly thin.

Sometimes it was remarkable how high the wind would take the ice sheets. 20 feet or more up into the sky before it would crash down.

Morons.

I would have thought that much snow would have squatted that Dodge way more than it looks like.

Wtf, man...

I think I understood about a dozen sentences of this Wiki page about Manfred Clynes, who died recently.

He invented an inertial guidance system at the age of 15. And he did something fairly significant for music. Or computers. I think.

Fuck, Idk.

Strange spark plug, I don't know how you gap it...

beauregaardhooligan · 01-29-2020, 08:10 AM

I would guess the gap is between the flat shield you see and a center electrode.
Probably use a flat feeler gauge to reach in and spread to the right gap. Might need to tap it down if the gap is too large.
butI'mJustGuessing

Perma-gap plug. They're for outboards, or other engines that run at constant speed, aren't they?

xoxoxoBruce · 01-30-2020, 02:25 AM

After spending way too many hours investigating this due to ~~intellectual curiosity~~ stubbornness, I'm convinced the plug is a mislabeled R-7A which is a side firing R-7 with the shield added to keep from losing any of the galloping 22 horse power the PO-15 engine produced.

This is an R-7...

Note the copper washer as opposed to the silver colored washer on the post war plug.

About the only engines I have never fooled with are outboards.
It doesn't seem like pre-ignition (detonation) would be a problem.
Why is it?

1950 Johnson 22 HP PO15

This 22 horsepower Johnson outboard, manufactured in 1950, is a freshwater model. The engine weight is recorded at 115 lbs. This is a 2 cylinder model. The displacement for the pistons is 29.92. The bore for this outboard is 2.75 inches and the stroke is 2.52 inches. This engine has power steering and a rope-type starter.

I've also read they are bitch to start.
22 hp from 30 ci, I'll bet the compression was pretty high, horizontal cylinders might be letting oil by, carburetors might run rich to make up for crap gas. 1940s technology.

Diaphone Jim · 01-31-2020, 01:05 PM

Two stroke? Water cooled?
Doesn't seem like super high output.

Forty years ago I blithely told a friend I would fix his ? outboard for him. Couldn't even get the SOB apart.

xoxoxoBruce · 01-31-2020, 01:29 PM

In that era Ford's hottest V-8 was 255 ci and 110 hp, Chevy 216 ci and 92 hp, Cadillac 331 ci and 133 hp. Johnson's 22 from 30 is exceptional.
