Marked Mac SC 4 nuthin shows up on e-bay or on-line
-
I know these are pretty bad pictures but maybe someone will just remember having one of these testers.
I knew someone that did long ago but cannot remember the details. I see there is a plug of some sort on the end but cant remember exactly what all is missing? Can someone jog my memory?

I'm pretty sure that's for Delco Remy distributors. There is an insulated block on the side that needs that for the stud nut. Kinda foggy memory though.

The photos are dim , but seems to be a test light with a plug in lead wire.

The mac driver is for working on Delco Remy distributors with points like 216/235/261 Chevy 6 cylinder engines. Most older GM 6 cylinders and straight 8 engines. The hex end removes the coil wire and the round stud ends loosens the points from the stud that passes thru the distributor body. I have several brands of that tool i used for over 40 years working on old Chevy 6 engines.

I know these may not even be tools but I hate to throw out anything useful and the guy saved them for some reason. Any ideas
That deal in the back is marked the Eliminator, there is on on E-bay for ten dollars, guy dosent know what it is either but I guess he figures with the cost of aluminum going the way it is..........

Does anyone want these before I toss them, pin is missing but otherwise used condition. Marked Ken-Tools
-
May not even be a tool but I have been wondering since I saw it. Nearly hollow but not quite
-
This one has me stumped, spring wire connecting the two ends, one end appears oval shaped ( may be distorted a bit ) and the other end appears to be a 5 point socket, handle will slide onto either tool end and allow the user to get a better grip for using the tool.
No markings that I can find
-
I believe these are adapters to use with a radiator/radiator cap pressure tester.

These look like battery post pliers.

2 shiny things first pic look like adaptors for a radiator pressure tester.
Orange thing...throwaway clutch centering jig?
Mosty Ken Tools things are worth keeping .No idea what that thing is tho..
-
The battery clamp spreader tool I have been looking for, missing pin or not. The last one looks rather like a tire tool, used to pull the inner tube valve stem through the rim opening while mounting the tire. The red plastic cone, is a plug, for the tail end of a transmission to keep it from leaking while shipping, or could be the same for the output openings of front wheel drive transaxles. The little screwdriver electrical tester looks like it may have a tiny neon tube inside for testing spark plug wire output, some of them did not have a ground wire.

I believe you are right, I remember now, I did get two pressure testers so these will go alongside them, thanks

Are you saying you want the battery tool? Its yours if so. Send me your address

Still no identification on this one?
-
That tool with the cable between two end pieces, do the ends screw onto a valve stem?

Mike can you ( or someone ) explain to me how these work, there is the same set on e-bay except their set has the original case and instructions. I dont want to buy it just for the case and the instructions although of course it stinks I am missing these.
I dont remember ever seeing a rad. inlet that would allow screwing one of these shiny adapter pieces directly to it although I plan to go out and test a few rad when the sun comes up.
Also I take it the adapters are there cause not all rad inlets are the same type but why the long adapter, why would they have not made them much shorter? These are about 4-5 inches long.

Those are to test cooling system , radiator caps. You need a pressure tester also.

Used on transmissions when you pull the drive shaft. Keeps the fluid from leaking out.
There are many different sizes

Used on GM carbs from the 80's , the computer controlled ones, adjusts the idle screws after you remove the tamper plugs.

THEXTON Idle Mixture Adjustment Tool 358

I don''t think your tool is the exact tool in this ebay listing but it is a carb tool from the 80's era. Carbs had hardened caps on the idle air screws so you couldn't mess with the adjustment. There were special drills to remove the caps. The screws were often special so even if you got the cap off you would still need a special tool to turn the screw.

I thought for sure I would have you guys stumped on that one, I would have never figured it out, thanks.
Now does anyone need a THEXTON Idle Mixture Adjustment Tool :)
-
I could send you another so you have a pair.

80s carb adjusting tool, no wonder, I had erased that era from my memory, early electronics near impossible to diagnose, carburetors that one could barely adjust, 1,600 RPM fast idle, oh yeah, forgot about all that ON PURPOSE, not a great time.

Does John K want the battery pliers? Or did someone else want them? If not I would like them. I need a set to keep at work. I could have used them yesterday.
I thought someone wanted them - or did you want to keep them? If not I'd be pleased to have them, missing pin or not.

But then he'd have to buy one of those hotted-up cars with dual carburetors. And a Uni-syn to keep the carbs synchronized.
