Re: Broken clutch arm
Yikes! Thanks for sharing. Fortunately, my old pin came out pretty easily. I punched it out from the bottom with a good punch and hammer. I could not get the replacement pins to go more than halfway...

Re: Broken clutch arm
Thanks everyone for the posts! This really was an easy fix! I bought the replacement from Snyder’s for ab $38 and it took 15 mins to replace and adjust the clutch. Back on the road again!

Broken clutch arm
My clutch quit working on my 31 pickup while driving recently (stays in gear even with clutch depressed) and I managed to limp back home. I found that I have a broken clutch arm with a crack along...

Re: Locating dimple on timing gear
Hey, I found the great, simple solution for me was to purchase the sping-loaded tool from Snyder's for about $25 to replace the timing probe on the Model A. When the spring loaded device hits the...

Re: Locating dimple on timing gear
I tried all the above suggestions. I found that I was not able to turn the engine easily using the belt even with all the plugs removed. So, I continued to use the crank. I located the dimple before...

Re: Locating dimple on timing gear

Re: Locating dimple on timing gear
I did try that, but perhaps not enough. I also tried using a punch that is much narrower. I'm wondering if the timing gear on my car has much of a dimple? If any? This was my Dad's car and he had the...
