AMF Shovelhead Lowrider Restoration -28 - Electrical and Ignition & Static Timing

- Before getting fully underway with part 28 I'd decided that the Rear brake line had to go, it was simply too dangerous. Id measured out the size and ordered a replacement line, adding along with it the correct bends to accommodate the forward controls. Id actually got the bends first and then measured the lines against them for a good fit. The downward angled piece int he rear ensured adequate clearance at the transmission area.
I was finally able to install my Twintec pulling from storage, only for it to break upon installation. The folks at Twintek gave me an RMA price for a new one even though it was out of warentee for years so it was greatly appreciated. While waiting on shipping i had other things to do.
Including:
The starter relay connector was garbage, and I replaced it pin for pin with a new one.
Turns out the rubber mount at the speedometer is a special part, a one-off, and , it broke whilst removing. Mine was also different requiring modification as received, but it turned out nice.
The Oil pan trim screws were added
When the Ignition arrived all of these small tasks were out of the way. The wiring of the ignition as well as the coil, and most of the other wiring will need to be done at this time. The coil was re-tested before installation. All ignition wiring was then accomplished. A nice chrome outer cover finishes the coil off.
A new battery will also be installed. Though everything was pre-staged with the old battery. The regulator is also installed at this time. As the battery was topping off, the rear lamp was completely redone.
Finally in the smoke testing, only one bad connection was found and repaired. The cluster was added for testing as well.
The timing hole is opened to find TDC on compression. This is also annotated on the stator cover once found. The ignition is turned anti clockwise until the light is on, rotating till off then locked down, staticly timed.
The project is finished off with the installation of the battery cover.

Never too late to post good info
What all was involved with polishing the tailight? It came out looking great!
First super glue was applied from the inside with a toothpick to address any lens cracks. Then it was hand polished with maas.
@@retrotechandelectronics I wouldn't have thought to use that on plastic as a polish.
Great tip. Thanks for sharing the technique.
No problem!
