Possibly an alignment problem or pressure plate issue but I would check all the easier stuff before I went inside the bellhousing. If the pedal returns can you feel any excessive freeplay in it?

Does the pedal return the same amount every time? Could it be the pedal assembly hanging up on the floor? Does it do it when sitting level or only when twisted? I have seen a bad motor mount put enough of a bind on things to hang up a clutch, and when that happens it will usually not show up until the engine is under stress, such as pulling away from a stop. Same thing can happen with a bad pilot bushing, I've been told, but haven't experienced it myself. That is my .02 cents worth. I'm sure others will have more.......Tim

That is a beautiful car and a beautiful sound.

"i don't care if he's local...i rather deal with a nice out of state guy then a jerk at home." Couldn't have said it any better than that.

Fantastic! Thanks for the ride.

That is a beauty! Congrats!

All ant and no grasshopper is not good. I get to be an ant all week and some weekends too. Today is all grasshopper, I hope. Took a nice ride and walk earlier and now I'm ready for some football.

I like the Valiant better too. Dad had one like it when I was in high school. I used to use it when my car was broke down or something.

That is good news. Glad to hear it is running better again.

That is why they have all the Pictures

Could be the pump. Could also be sucking air somewhere through a bad piece of fuel line. I had an issue with mine doing that years ago and it turned out to be some junk in the tank floating around and occasionally blocking the fuel pick up in the tank.

Good to hear! Nice to hear you do some parades. Great way to introduce the youngsters to old cars.

Tim, I agree with you. We always opted for Motor's when we could get them. They always seemed to be a little more thorough and easier to follow.

Was helping Dad with his '93 Chrysler tonight. Me, my dad, and my brother in his garage for a couple hours is our version of a family reunion. Anyway, as I was leaving, dad gave me two old manuals. These are like gold to me, dog-eared pages, scrap paper notes and all. It is like a family history. The Chilton's is a 1940 to 1953 and the Motor's is a 1935 to 1952. As you can see they are well used and dirty as any useful automotive literature should be. With the proper manual my dad can fix anything. He taught me the importance of researching an issue before I knew what research was.

Nice pics as always. I sure enjoy seeing the old Plymouth out and about.

Glad I could help! Keep us posted on your progress..........Tim

If the center section is in the original housing you should be able to use wheel cylinders for the above listed cars..........Tim

The Mopar 7-1/4 is a good piece. have one in my 69 Dart but beware lots of them are 5 on 4.25 bolt pattern.

Andy, I am certainly no expert on this, but from looking at Bernbaums site it appears there are two different gear/chain sets based on the year. 34 to 55 and 56 to 59. VPW also has two different ones but one set is marked for the 251 engine 60 and up. Now both picture gears that are grooved but it appears there are quite possibly 3 different sets as you suspect. The old set (34-55), the later set(56-59) and the latest big block set (60 and up). Unfortunately I have no idea which is which. Maybe the wide one is the big engine version and the groove / non-groove are the difference in the year sets? I don't know, LOL, and I hope this doesn't add to the confusion............Tim

Looking good Moose. That is a nice car.

Good video. As a young fellow I entered a demo derby once in a "65 Plymouth Belvedere. I finished second to a 67 Pontiac Bonneville that was bigger than a house, or so it seemed. For the next derby a local car dealer gave me a car, a Chevy to run with their name on it. I was playing around on the racetrack before the nights events and blew the thing up. Dang Chevy. Thus ended my derby driving career. LOL

Great pics RobertKB. I like the garaged pic. I need to get one of mine in the garage.

Test pic done with Photobucket. You're right, a caveman can do it!

Great pics as always Bob. My daughter and I had mine out for a ride today too. We got some sprinkles just as we got home, but no rain yet.
