Help with vibration
We finally got our '29 running well enough to attempt a trip to the courthouse to register and title it. We are learning from our experiences and help from this forum. All did not go well on the 14 mile trip into town. The two bolts holding the new carb to the manifold vibrated loose. You can imagine the issues associated with this. We discovered the problem and made it to/from the courthouse. The bolts now are Loctited and may stay in.
Now, on to the vibration. The clutch pedal, when up, vibrates when the car is moving. It will do it as the engine rpms climb in any gear. When it vibrates there is metal to metal contact somewhere. Holding the pedal fully up by hooking the left foot behind the pedal and lifting, the noise goes away.
When revving the engine in the garage, car in neutral, there is no apparent vibration of the engine and no unordinary noises.
Our thoughts are that the vibration is in the drivetrain, somewhere.
I am sure all this is vague information and we are unsure where to begin to diagnose the cause.
Hoping for some suggestions from the forum.
Thanks,
