    Worn bushing or shaft on clutch pivot. Or maybe a bent clutch fork.

    A picture is worth a thousand words. Picture please.
  3. Silverdome
    Possibly worn synchronizers in the tranny.

    Yes any grommet of the correct size will work as long as it is an insulator.
  5. Silverdome
    Using a magnet should help.

    Welcome Tim, sounds like you need a friend that lives just across the border to drop ship your parts to.

    The toe adjustment can make your tires wear quicker and you can inspect the tread and see how it wipes across it. Also you may notice tire squealing in your turns depending on the severity of out of adjustment.

    This is why I said "the short answer". I did not have the specs in front of me and this is the reasoning behind the three angle grind. Thanks for the complete answer and illustrations.

    The short answer is if the seat and the valve have the same length of surface then yes it needs to show that is sealing all the way across. Measure across the flat area of the seat and matching valve and you will know how much should be touching for maximum seal.

    Did a google search for "purchase curved auto glass" and this is one of the sites that popped up. https://www.vintageglass.com/

    To find top dead center and/or stroke length.

    Do a search on here at the top right of this page and choose All Content then type in shock mount relocation and hit enter and it will give you multiple choices on the subject.

    The metal bushing would be ovaled and the bolts will show wear at the bushing area.

    Are you going to do a shock mount relocation while you have it torn down? It has been said many times that it improves the handling by a large margin.

    It's your car so make yourself happy. That being said there are many things to consider if you want to make such a major change. You should be able to find a reasonably priced running engine if yours is not rebuildable, which would be much less work. Nice car by the way.

    X2, remove that silicone.

    If you don't want to use Helicoil there are other choices of thread inserts available. The ones we use at work are from McMaster-Carr and have tangs on them that you hammer down to lock them into place plus they have the install taps available. These seem to be more durable than Helicoils. Here's a link. https://www.mcmaster.com/#standard-threaded-inserts/=183eg63

    If it would fit my '34 Dodge I might be interested in buying it.

    X2. Also, which I'm sure you did before, torque it down in the right sequence per the suggested procedure in your repair manual.

    Greg, very nice pictures, thanks.

    Thanks John and 48ply1stcar

    Do you have a micrometer or set of calipers available to you? A quick check would answer your question. But I would have to agree with Don the machine shop would know best and should be able to order the correct ones at a reasonable price.

    I had that same problem last year. I mentioned it on another thread but didn't think to mention it here. It is easy to overlook.
  25. Silverdome
    Actually Kona brown is more the color of milk chocolate where the factory color is the color of dark chocolate, although I like both. Greg, would you be able to provide a picture of the Deluxe steering wheel and horn button? Does anyone have a paint sample or mixture specification for the original Vogue Brown?
