Could the pressure plate be the wrong one

Could be. The original poster says that he put a new pressure plate in and adjusted it.

i have a pressure plate and fly wheel that came off a 1940 block, but looks like a model A p plate that sits in to the fly wheel and from flange to rear of p plate it's 1 5/8 " long, plate in pic looks much longer. by flange i mean that part that bolts to flywheel.

Forget the brakes, they really don't work. The clutch always sticks, and starts with a jerk. My car grows red hair, and flies through the air. Driving's a blast, a blast from the past.
