Good Ignition Makes Engine Start Easier During Cold Weather When an engine is hard to s tart, a large number of drivers imme- diately “jump to the conclusion that the carburetor requires adjusting and proceed at once to “adjust” it. Strange to say, they sometimes find that it is impossible to adjust the carburetor so that the engine will start any easier. When the cold weather arr: ives it is usually necessary to adjust the carburetor, but before doing so you must be sure that the ignition’ system is in perfect condition and that a spark plugs.

If you notice a good snappy spark passing from the end of the wire, you can be fairly certain that the ignition system is in good condi- tion. If, however, you have to hold the end of the wire quite close to the metal part before a spark passes, then it is a sure indication that either the contact breaker, coil or battery re- quire attention. If the spark is very weak, unsnap the clips at side of distributor head and pull it off, leaving the wires attached. This will expose the rotor arms and contact points.

The Chrysler Six sells itself every time it exhibits its dashing appearance on road or highway. The contrast between it and other cars is so marked that the desire to own onc is bred then and there. But that desire is as nothing compared to the delight induced later on. If its only charm were the charm of appearance, the attraction would soon wear off, But the Chrysler is just as unusually attractive as it looks. One after another it reveals these unusual ities even be- fore it gets under way. Just to sit in the car and look about reveals first a quality all Americans love—compactness, conservation of neatnéss, artistry and a complete elimination of unnecessary Semen, You look up from the cradling comfort of the Chrysler as you other cars and almost laugh. You see needless height, need- less needless weight,needless length asyounever sawthem before. Your motor is'as compact as the car itself—a jewelled watch with the busiest, most alert, most effective flow of power you ever experi- enced. Your whole motoring world is changed for you—delight- fully changed, economically changed, efficiently changed. That the American people have taken the Chrysler to their hearts is no sur- prise at all—it is a very natural, logical thing, They are almost extrav- intly enthusiastic about the Chrysler because the Chrysler has dncten them delights in motoring have never known before.
