I have the green service book, but not a manual. The book I have does not state anything about doing a magnet recharge. I have a small compass and have watched videos of other the people doing it. If memory serves, place the compass about 1" down from the mag post and about 1" to the left. Then line up the north pole of the magnet with the compass. My assumption is that that lines it up with the coil. Do the flash. If someone is willing to send me a digital copy of the actual procedure from the manual, please pm me and I’ll pass on my email address.

Thanks. I have read that article. It is informative. I am not going to be removing the engine, so plan is to do an in car recharge.
The winter to do list for the 19 has started. The rad is out and was taken to, I think from research, just about the only recore shop in Ontario Canada. They were going to have to fabricate a complete rad and by the way the conversation went, it appeared to be less expensive to order one from the part suppliers in the US. Removed the Richard Wilcox shock absorbers to address wear. They are the same as W&C double arm shock absorbers. The plan is to measure where the center of the hole is supposed to be and weld the hole closed and machine it out to the correct size. As you can see, its quite worn. All 4 are like this. If you look at the pictures of the car near the beginning of the thread, you will see them on the car. Have to replace rear wheel bearings as I think they might be originals. They were well greased but also well worn. Also reline rear brakes as the material is done, but also whom ever did it last, installed the rivets backwards. So the fun has begun.
4 new pins fabricated from 3/4" bar stock, turned down to 9/16" with 9/16 fine thread on the end like originals.
Also removing several layers of paint from the arms. Appears as if the original color was red.
The arms cover the oil holes in the perch, so I was trying to figure out how to lube them. A 4 A.M. epiphany ! Pins got spun up again in the lathe and drilled some grease holes. One would think that that should have come to light when making them .
Nice work! Excellent in all respects.
Thanks Auto_Inn. Appreciate the compliment.
