Re: help! clutch won‘t disengage…
Tom, I'm glad it was the lever as I suggested (post #16). They always crack thru the pin hole. That is a relatively easy fix compared to a pressure plate.
Bratton's has the longer arm that makes...

Re: Adjusting timing

Re: I give up
I know you said everything is fine with the carburetor but to me your symptoms keep pointing to a clogged idle jet or idle circuit.

Re: Starter issues
I saw a tip isn the Restorer Magazine where a small piece of hose was inserted in the switch to act as a spring to separate the contacts.

Re: 1931 Tudor Phaeton
Dave, According to a book I was just reading, 2,229 Deluxe Phaetons produced in 1931. Less than half the amount of 400-A Convertible Sedans. I would say a rather rare car.

Re: Which Side Mirror?
JayJay, my bad. Since you gave a Snyder's part # (A-17741-A), I didn't think to look on Bratton's (#24200).
