LUBRICATION WITH SPRING AND FALL TUNE-UP-OR
EVERY 10,000 MILES-The units of your car discussed below
should be lubricated every spring and fall-or every 10,000
miles.
This service is included in your Pontiac Dealer's Tune-up Diagnosis.
The lubrication of these units is just as important to long car life
as those items receiving the regular 2,000 mile lubrication. Since these
units do not require frequent lubrication, they are often missed or
forgotten entirely as they require "getting
into"
your engine
mechanically.
Distributor- There are four places to lubricate inside the distributor.
They are the
cam,
cam wick, breaker-point pivot, and breaker plate
felt. Every spring or fall, or 10,000 miles, apply a trace of petrolatum
on the
.
c am lobes, 3 or 4 drops oflight engine oil on the cam wick, a
drop.
on the breaker-point pivot, and 4 or 5 drops to the movable
breake; plate felt. (Add at edge of plate so oil runs down on felt
between movable and fixed breaker plates.)
Carburetor-Every spring and fall, or 10,000 miles, lubricate the
pump arm countershaft by removing two dust cover screws and
applying 2 drops of light engine oil in each hole.
Cleaning Carburetor Air Cleaner and Crankcase Breathers-
Cleaning of the carburetor air cleaner and the crankcase ventilator
inlet, which is built into the oil filler
cap,
should be performed in
the spring and fall or every 10,000 miles. If the car is operated in
areas where dust conditions are bad, clean the carburetor air cleaner
and oil filler cap every 2,000 miles. If the Heavy Duty air cleaner is
used, the crankcase breather outlet should also be cleaned.
BODY LUBRICATION
DOOR LOCK STRIKER PLATE, WEDGE AND ROLLER-
Wipe latch parts dean, and apply thin film of light engine oil to fric-
tion surfaces of plate and wedge with
finger.
Apply 1 drop of light
engine oil to top rear edge of roller so as to run inside roller.
DOOR
AND REAR DECK LOCKS-Whenever it becomes difficu.lt
to insert the key
in
the locks, a small amount of powdered graphite
should be blown into the lock cylinder.
HOOD LATCH AND SAFETY HOOK-Apply
light
engine oil to
hinge pins and Lubriplate No. 105 to latch and safety hook friction
surfaces.
