As long as it’s just sitting on the test stand I occasionally use the old HEMI for the 37 to test out alternators I rebuild (it’s set up to use a GM alternator). This morning my 2 grandsons were over and the oldest one and I put a new regulator in one that I need for another project.

As we were putting it on the engine to test it out, his younger brother came out and wanted to help. Cade (the older one) showed Austin the bolt that needed tightened and which way to turn the wrench. It just did this old man’s heart good to see those 2 wrenching together (especially on an old dinosaur with a bunch of carburetors).



And yeah they were both grinning from ear to ear when I fired the old girl off to do the output test.
