Ditto. Other than the fluid drive probably leaking fluid onto the clutch to cause it, a slipping clutch is not a fluid drive issue, it is a clutch issue. Two different things. I've dealt with two cars with slipping clutches, neither had any clutch chatter to forebode a future problem, and neither smelled at all. If your clutch disc has gotten oil on it, adjustment is pointless. It may ease the problem, but you've still got a bad clutch disc.

Trying to finish up this duct. I thought I’d post the method I used to close up the duct previously pictured. I was going to use fiberglass but decided to make cardboard to match the original to my best ability. I happened to have some watercolor paper that is 135 lbs. 1st I glued the edge of the cut duct with wood glue. After it set, I trimmed it to allow for about a 3/8” lip, which I then glued. I followed up with 2 more layers of the same paper but trimmed flush with the corner. The 4th and final layer was glued like layers 2&3 but trimmed similar to the 1st layer but after the glue set up, I was able to wet (dampen) the outer portion to form so that it didn’t need to be sectioned. Then a bit of flat black. (Sorry I don’t know how to change the order of pictures - they aren’t in the correct order)

A little bit of history; Today in Cool History: Sept. 5 1930 Charles Creighton and James Hagris completed the drive from New York City to Los Angeles and back to New York City (7,180 miles) all in reverse gear. The trip took 42 days in their 1929 Ford Model A. The car was left running the entire time.

like Los...got nothing to hide but at the same time I got nothing I want divulged either......DON'T ASK...DANG SURE DON'T TELL.....

Turns out you guys had some good advice ... second time's a charm. New seal in and holding. Soaked in oil for a day, then put it on the yoke for a day. Still seemed very tight to get in so I removed the seal, put 2 layers of thin electrical tape on the yoke and re installed the seal for about 15 min. that seemed to make the difference. In the future, maybe I would jack the rear end up so that the pinion could turn as getting the yoke on with a twisting motion may have also been helpful (my lift is the drive on type). There was no need to sleeve in my case (80k miles)

Not a warm cozy safe feeling when a dual MC reservoir system fails

The lower 3 grill bars look like steel to me.

I can lock up the rear wheels when I pull the hand brake. The old brake strap around the driveshaft on my 39 works very good.

What would you want to tow? That thing is bigger then my first apartment.

awesome truck, go buy it and do what you want to it as long as it's not rat rodded!

You are right.

Can you grind and shorten the manifold? I had to do so with the T-5 transmission I installed.
