Break-In, Seasonal Service, Inspection and Tune-Up
From the 1937 Chrysler Shop Manual
General service advice from the front of the book. After the foreword and chapter index comes guidance for driving new or reconditioned engines during break-in, with speed limits for the first 500 and 2,500 miles and oil viscosity limits. A seasonal preparation checklist covers lubrication, cooling, electrical and fuel systems. A complete vehicle inspection runs unit by unit, then an engine tune-up sequence gives battery and line voltage, cylinder head tightening, vacuum test readings, valve clearance, compression test, spark plug gap, distributor point setting, ignition timing and carburetor float level by code.
