My car was running kind of rough and wouldnt start at times. I changed the Solidium Rectifier to see if it would help. I dont know what to do now it won't start at all. I put the old one back in and it still didnt run. Would appreciate some advice.

 

Solidium Rectifier? What is this and where did you find it?

 

Are you sure you bought a camamro from earth ?? Maybe you need to check the antigravity device on top of the motor and see if thats working.

 

alright well ya see the Solidium Rectifier is a special sensor. i dont know wat it does but i know its a sensor. my local mechanic told me to get an old one from my tv...Solidium Rectifier is used on tvs...there is not such thing on a camaro...any car. i jus had to see the replys i would get.

 

It's a selenium rectifier. The precursor to the modern silicon rectifier that's in your alternator among other places. :-)

 

Hopefully you used a left handed screwdriver and metric crescent wrench to change it; standard tools can damage it during installation. Better keep a wire stretcher handy as well in case the new one doesn't line up exactly like the original.

Be aware that when this thing goes bad it can take the muffler bearing with it, so keep an eye out on it so you don't get stranded when least convenient.

Electronics run on smoke, which can be intimidating to the uninitiated. But, as long as you don't let the smoke out, you can expect many happy motoring miles.

 

niiice thanks for the advice. oh and jv9999 ya got me...ya got me good

 

I love this forum so much.
While on the topic, your powerband might be bad, try to pick one up from a 'vette, they're faster.
Blinker fluid can be getting low, and check the piston return springs while you've got it apart

 

yeah, also you need a sky hook to gently lower it into place as not to touch the waddling pin or cannoodling valves,also put a dab of plutonium on the bottom to keep it from shorting out,laterjimmy

 

BTW A left handed screwdriver can be used, but the right handed usually has more torque. And I do have the metric crescent wrench it is 10" or 254 mm depending on weather you use it right or left handed.

I have used the wire stretcher to build an intake fence, really helps with the #9 wire. Or just replace it all with a wing wassail.

But what about the floor mat clamp, that holds the muffler bearing in place, till the chow line can be stretched long enough to hold it?

As for the smoke, smoke testing is done all the time, but the older electric/electronics have more smoke in them then the new.

Also smoke testing gets used as a 1/4 mile performance indicator, but is not easily calibrated. When not properly calibrated the smoke test soon leads to knock sensor overload which requires a Ben Franklin upload to cure.

The real test, is of the "Blue Flame Generators".

This sometimes happens when parts pitching but practice makes perfect. (see upload above)

And everybody has lots of photon generators in their cars.

Can you figure out the agricultural conversation in all this.
