Re: Pressure plate adjutant

I don't re-adjust after installation. Someone else said they do that. If you adjust the fingers after installing, your flywheel had better be absolutely perfect. Otherwise, don't readjust. That's...

Re: Ammeter showed a discharge

Interesting! A lot to unpack here, and I think possibly a solution.

First, with a 15 amp discharge, the motor will not always run any differently. If it was a hard short, then yes. So, a wire...

Re: Help! Metal Valve Stems

The flat side is just regular file like you could use on metal. The top is rounded and raspy. I only use the flat side. They are super easy once you've done about 50 of them.

Re: Spacers on shift rail to prevent breaking shift forks in Model A transmission
