Thanks, I might try that.I've had good luck with Permatex Orange 25210

I ended up getting a refund from Rock Auto, since it was the second one from them to seize up, and bought one off amazon.Mine's quiet and the air gap is still ~0.020". It's not very old either.
Verify that the clutch coil is getting proper voltage/amperage.Because, when I rev it up it doesn't suck down the low side (it just wavers between 35 & 40 IIRC) or increase pressure on the high side...
I should be able to look at the clutch for signs of over heating or damage... ...That leads me to thinking the clutch is slipping. I'm going to ohm out the coil and compare it to my spare one too.
Thanks. That's funny, I was thinking about that and wondering if I ought to throw a relay on it to get full battery voltage. I'll check it out and let you know.The supply side will "want" about system voltage, I think. Maybe system voltage minus one volt or so. This might be listed in the service manual. If the voltage is down more than a couple of volts, you've got excess resistance on the supply side of the circuit.
I got out my meters, a Fluke and An HEI, just to see how close they were to each other. The HEI was reading about onE Ohm higher than the Fluke using the same leads and crossing them to see how close to zero they would go. The Fluke read 0.2 Ohms while the HEI read 2.7Ohms. I changed the batteries - the HEI was from 2008, ha ha. I don't use that one very often, mainly for testing capacitors. Anyway, back to the story.The supply side will "want" about system voltage, I think. Maybe system voltage minus one volt or so. This might be listed in the service manual. If the voltage is down more than a couple of volts, you've got excess resistance on the supply side of the circuit.
Yes, now that you mentioned that, there is a diode, IIRC.Take a look at your existing wiring. I suspect you'll have a capacitor across the + and - wires; probably tucked under some tape right at the molded plug that connects to the clutch coil.
You know how brittle wires and looms are on a 32 year old truck, LOL. I'd prefer to exacerbate the condition as little as possibleIt might be worth your time to trace the wire harness back, to see if there's a point of high resistance that could be repaired, rather than installing a relay.
I gotcha beat in that category, LOL.I sometimes think I've achieved early senility.
