1
00:00:07.460 --> 00:00:10.820
Taper, out of roundness, and other defects.

2
00:00:11.320 --> 00:00:13.460
Use the right tools and gauges.

3
00:00:13.460 --> 00:00:18.020
In order to do a complete brake job, the drum should be resurfaced.

4
00:00:40.980 --> 00:00:45.720
Scored drums are a major cause of noise and poor pedal action.

5
00:00:45.720 --> 00:00:52.520
Scoring is often caused by dirt trapped in the drum, or by lining which has been worn down to the rivet heads.

6
00:00:53.400 --> 00:00:59.080
Sometimes bonded linings are worn to the shoe rim, causing this kind of scoring.

7
00:01:02.060 --> 00:01:06.840
New linings will make poor initial drum contact and give erratic brake action,

8
00:01:07.040 --> 00:01:10.860
unless the drums are resurfaced as part of a total brake job.

9
00:01:11.500 --> 00:01:17.000
Take care when resurfacing a drum. When metal is removed, the drum may be weakened,

10
00:01:17.380 --> 00:01:19.900
and its ability to absorb heat is reduced.

11
00:01:21.340 --> 00:01:24.320
Some drums should never be resurfaced.

12
00:01:25.060 --> 00:01:28.180
Hard spots in a drum appear as discolored patches.

13
00:01:28.880 --> 00:01:35.140
Hard spots result from excessive heat, which is often caused by repeated and hard brake application.

14
00:01:35.820 --> 00:01:40.320
These hard spots are actually a change in the chemistry of the metal,

15
00:01:40.320 --> 00:01:42.500
and cannot be removed.

16
00:01:43.400 --> 00:01:47.520
Turning and grinding does not correct this condition.

17
00:01:48.120 --> 00:01:50.180
Discard drums with hard spots.

18
00:01:54.560 --> 00:01:58.820
We strongly recommend replacement of all rubber and brake hardware parts.

19
00:01:59.360 --> 00:02:03.060
These are as important to a good brake job as quality linings.

20
00:02:03.620 --> 00:02:08.620
Many fine brake relines have come back because an old part failed.

21
00:02:08.620 --> 00:02:15.360
Don't risk time, money, and your reputation by reusing old parts.

22
00:02:16.740 --> 00:02:21.280
Springs that have lost their tension often cause noise, extra wear, and pulling.

23
00:02:22.020 --> 00:02:22.620
Don't risk it.

24
00:02:25.360 --> 00:02:29.880
Before starting work on a disc brake, use penetrating oil on bleeder screws,

25
00:02:29.960 --> 00:02:32.060
which may be frozen by dirt or rust.

26
00:02:32.460 --> 00:02:35.820
If the screw breaks, you may have to replace the caliper.

27
00:02:36.380 --> 00:02:41.360
Disc brake rotors are scored by road dirt and by normal braking.

28
00:02:41.980 --> 00:02:46.720
These rotors are too heavily scored and can't be reconditioned by machining.

29
00:02:47.400 --> 00:02:51.700
Use a lathe to recondition rotors which are still serviceable.

30
00:02:52.360 --> 00:02:57.160
Rust and contamination can be removed by hand sanding with abrasives.

31
00:02:57.900 --> 00:02:59.020
Rotor hard spots are...

32
00:06:10.400 --> 00:06:15.920
Hi, I'm Joe Slattery, and that little display you just saw was inspired by a recent happening in

33
00:06:15.920 --> 00:06:17.920
Videoland, a television commercial.

34
00:06:18.240 --> 00:06:22.180
One of a batch of new ones we spread out all over the everloving watching machine.

35
00:06:22.540 --> 00:06:24.880
And you wouldn't believe the way those ratings are checking out.

36
00:06:25.360 --> 00:06:27.880
But new isn't the only word that's big up at AC.

37
00:06:28.360 --> 00:06:29.620
Another word is now.

38
00:06:29.900 --> 00:06:33.080
This is the era of now, the time of the big happening.

39
00:06:33.080 --> 00:06:36.120
Man, if you ain't with what's happening, what's happening now?

40
00:06:36.260 --> 00:06:38.500
You're due for a quick ticket to has-been bill.

41
00:06:39.400 --> 00:06:42.640
But kidding on the square though, these are mod times.

42
00:06:42.840 --> 00:06:45.880
And whether or not it's the under 25 group that's running the world,

43
00:06:46.240 --> 00:06:50.140
we at AC aim to keep ahead of the action in every market across the country,

44
00:06:50.500 --> 00:06:51.540
youth or otherwise.

45
00:06:52.140 --> 00:06:54.060
Big things are happening at AC.

46
00:06:54.480 --> 00:06:57.140
Big happenings that are tuned to the tempo of the times.

47
00:06:57.480 --> 00:07:00.040
And we want to lay a few of these happenings onto you

48
00:07:00.040 --> 00:07:02.980
to show you that AC is the brand to go with.

49
00:07:03.080 --> 00:07:06.720
And after we're through here, you can call AC by any title you want.

50
00:07:06.960 --> 00:07:11.420
The Mod brand, the Swingin' brand, the In brand, or the Now brand.

51
00:07:11.700 --> 00:07:16.080
Just you remember to call AC for the products, the promotions, the progress,

52
00:07:16.380 --> 00:07:18.040
and the promise you're looking for.

53
00:07:18.220 --> 00:07:21.820
To put more action in your sales and more money in your pockets.

54
00:07:22.360 --> 00:07:25.360
And now, hold on to your hat and we'll show you why.

55
00:07:41.920 --> 00:07:42.660
Music

56
00:07:46.660 --> 00:07:54.380
Sound of water and music

57
00:07:54.380 --> 00:07:58.900
Perhaps the biggest big happening among all AC products

58
00:07:58.900 --> 00:08:01.180
is something that's been happening all along.

59
00:08:01.180 --> 00:08:06.620
The consistent peak standard, never flagging quality of the AC spark plug itself.

60
00:08:07.380 --> 00:08:12.400
Here is where the AC spark plug division gets the major share of its top rated reputation.

61
00:08:12.980 --> 00:08:16.280
Where the day in, year out AC performance story

62
00:08:16.280 --> 00:08:20.400
convinces and meets the acceptance of the great American motoring public.

63
00:08:21.280 --> 00:08:24.140
Discounting all of the flamboyant competitive plays,

64
00:08:24.460 --> 00:08:29.220
it still remains factual and gospel that the AC spark plug product

65
00:08:29.220 --> 00:08:33.600
always was and still is America's number one plug.

66
00:08:34.320 --> 00:08:38.840
Designed from the bottom up for all around maximum performance operation.

67
00:08:39.500 --> 00:08:42.580
This is automotive engineering at its functional best.

68
00:08:43.200 --> 00:08:48.100
Full time firepower for the greatest part of the driving public, the greatest part of the time.

69
00:08:48.540 --> 00:08:52.060
That's what AC has worked to give American car owners and operators.

70
00:08:52.440 --> 00:08:57.060
What we will continue to give them as long as we have the prime capability to do so.

71
00:08:57.780 --> 00:09:02.860
One name, one brand, one standard of quality superiority.

72
00:09:03.580 --> 00:09:06.520
This is what's happening in our AC spark plug division.

73
00:09:06.980 --> 00:09:09.440
What will always happen on our designing tables,

74
00:09:10.340 --> 00:09:16.220
on our production line, in our testing facilities, out in the selling field.

75
00:09:17.180 --> 00:09:20.520
There is nothing better that could happen to us and to you

76
00:09:20.520 --> 00:09:22.600
than today's AC spark plug.

77
00:09:22.940 --> 00:09:26.920
The great one for the greatest part of today's automobile driving.

78
00:09:27.060 --> 00:09:31.240
As well as for every other segment of the national spark plug market.

79
00:09:41.100 --> 00:09:46.100
Everybody is pretty hip on the word quality and that works for whatever business you're in.

80
00:09:46.100 --> 00:09:47.020
You use quite a lot of gas.

81
00:09:47.040 --> 00:09:51.480
A service station operator prides himself on the quality gasoline he sells.

82
00:09:51.820 --> 00:09:55.440
He's quick to impress his customers with the selling facts of this quality.

83
00:09:55.440 --> 00:09:57.720
And they usually are impressed.

84
00:09:58.400 --> 00:10:03.500
But do these same customers ever give an ounce of thought to the quality of the air they use?

85
00:10:04.460 --> 00:10:10.420
The average automobile engine uses 192,000 gallons of air a week.

86
00:10:10.980 --> 00:10:11.460
Quality air?

87
00:10:11.740 --> 00:10:15.300
Air loaded with all sorts of dust, dirt, soot, and grit.

88
00:10:15.980 --> 00:10:21.400
These particles can clog carburetors, cause stalling, power loss, low mileage.

89
00:10:21.800 --> 00:10:23.760
They can even score cylinder walls.

90
00:10:24.720 --> 00:10:31.120
One thing and only one thing can turn dust polluted air into quality air.

91
00:10:32.020 --> 00:10:35.180
An efficient, hard-working, quality air filter.

92
00:10:35.960 --> 00:10:37.600
An AC air filter.

93
00:10:38.800 --> 00:10:44.040
This is the way, the AC way, to combat what are some of the engine's worst enemies.

94
00:10:44.560 --> 00:10:46.480
Dust particles by the billions.

95
00:10:47.240 --> 00:10:50.960
Some of them are so small even you guys with the 2020 eyes can't see them.

96
00:10:50.960 --> 00:10:57.120
Others are so big and jagged you'd think it'd be easy to keep the rascals back from fouling up an engine.

97
00:11:14.080 --> 00:11:19.800
Well up to now it was a pretty tough proposition, at least for most manufacturers.

98
00:11:20.440 --> 00:11:23.000
But now something new has happened at AC.

99
00:11:23.560 --> 00:11:30.060
A new invention by AC engineers called the Akron air filter with activated fibers.

100
00:11:31.120 --> 00:11:34.460
To a car owner this means a revolution in engine protection.

101
00:11:35.100 --> 00:11:40.920
Less engine wear, fewer overhauls, less power loss, less bearing wear.

102
00:11:42.080 --> 00:11:44.280
What is this activated fibers deal?

103
00:11:44.840 --> 00:11:50.620
Well it means AC has gone and taken its exclusive Akron filter element material.

104
00:11:51.020 --> 00:11:56.880
A material made of unique synthetic fibers and added certain special chemicals to it.

105
00:11:57.580 --> 00:12:01.320
Now this does more for the filter than you ever figured possible.

106
00:12:01.880 --> 00:12:02.240
First.
