    The spark gap has an ionization potential that depends only on the width of the gap. That's the height of the fence that the spark must jump, so they will all be the same as long as they can ionize the gap. Widening the gap tests the maximum voltage that the trigger and coil can reach.

    I do not understand the lack of feedback for a great video. To make the effort to film and share knowledge and experience about flat tappet cam failure cannot be understated. The information was to the point and the reasons for the cam failure were clearly explained. It is not just the failure of the camshaft itself, but all the finely ground metal dispersed throughout the engine. Thank you for sharing your expertise on this subject.

    I think the mobilec should have afitting over the cam which has 4 or 6 strip magnets and there was a plastic feeler gauge to set it up. On a rebushed distributor with little or no wear these were brilliant. The problem was if there was too much spindle bush wear or incorrect gap adjustment the pickup got wiped out. Spindle wear did not affect the luminition as it was optical and so became the ignition of choice. In my opinion not the best performer but far more tolerant to wear and so more reliable.

Out of 100 that's score is 18.6, that's why your video is not reaching out to the people and you have not many subscribers, views, likes, watch time and comments.

    Hi, I was analyzing your UA-cam channel ( Project Heaven - Classic Car Restoration ). Your video is good. I was really impressed but you are not fully SEO on your video. So your videos don't reach more people. If you SEO your videos, more people will see your videos and go viral. I've shared below your channel issue. 1. your video titles are not SEO-friendly 2. your video is not SEO-friendly 3. you do not have to use enough good rank video and channel tags 4. your description is not SEO-friendly 5. Your SEO score ( 25.2 out of 100 ) 6. Keywords used are not researched properly 7. Videos are not promoted properly 8. You don't have your targeted view 9. You don't use attractive thumbnail

  • @ThomasMulhall

    Couple of things: 1. NEVER apply seam sealer over bare metal. Your video implied that, but I always stress that fact in the ICAR classes I do. 2. In the case of sill or panel replacement, use a weld through primer on the inside panels before welding. This will coat those inside panels first, then all you need do is to apply the wax with the gardn hose type nozzle. Waxoyl is a known brand here in America, but we have similar products from Winzer, Wurth, and Kent, even aerosol cans with that special nozzle. Weld thru primer is generally not paintable, so applying the epoxy over it generally won't work. the wax does stick to it nicely, though. 3. That3M sealer is ok, but there are so many better 2 part sealers out there, in all sorts of viscosities. There are the non sag type which leave brush strokes, as well as self leveling which does not. All of them should be used over that epoxy primer. 4. That water borne undercoating has been around for 30 years as sold by Wurth under the SKS label. Important also that it should be ONLY sprayed over primed (preferably epoxy) metal. The black sprays purple and dries to black, and so on. Paintable as well. Thanks for the video- it looks as though your shop cares about your customers enough to preserve the restorations that you perform. Cheers
