Re: [HSS] 29H Power.
Just one thing to check, that when the polarity of the battery was changed,
that the coil polarity was also swapped. If you have a modern coil, check
that the negative terminal is connected to the ignition switch, and positive
goes to the distributor. I believe the original coild were marked "SW" and
"CB", so check these and reverse them if they are still in the original
position. Otherwise, other than a good tune-up, there is not a lot you can
externally. I ahve re-profiled the camshaft on my '29 Hudson and gained
significant improvement both in power and economy.
