Re: Next problem is... locked rear brakes
My backing plates have the bolt heads on the outside. And the nuts on the inside. I guess that is one problem. Thanks for bringing that to my attention.

Re: Next problem is... locked rear brakes
The inner diameter of the puller would only fit in the groove, of the grooved hubs. Only the corners touch the shoulder of my hub. Not making full contact. But yes, I did try putting the puller on...

Re: Knocking. Valves?
I replaced the pulley with a one piece. It sounds a little smoother. But still a some knocking. Maybe I just never noticed it before. Like SmokedTires says. It might just be the way it's supposed to...

Re: Next problem is... locked rear brakes

Now I understand...

Re: Next problem is... locked rear brakes
I tried the screwdriver hammer trick. I've pulled these drums 6 months ago using that method. The control rod is disconnected. The lever does not budge. This guy is stuck. I'm pretty sure I need the...

Re: Knocking. Valves?
Fan blade is tight and I have a thrust collar on the pump shaft. But, my crank pulley wobbles quite a bit. It is a two piece pulley. I grabbed a one piece from a friend and will swap it out.

Re: 7 tooth retainer clip
I measured 17mm ID. But found only 18mm or 16mm ID. I ordered both. 16mm was too small. 18mm looks good.

Re: 7 tooth retainer clip

Re: Loss of power,
I could not decide on original points, or modern. I read plenty of posts about original points working as expected. And no need for modern unless the condenser keeps burning up. I may buy a set of...

Re: Loss of power,
I bent the wire connector 90 degrees when attaching it to the upper plate.
I'll do the box gap cleaning tip tomorrow.

Champion plugs. I pulled #1 plug on the side of the road. It was light Grey color. No moisture.
