Default Reason to use distributor condenser hole plug.

No voltage to points. Looks like some insect had a good home for the winter.

1931 Flamingo, this is my Anna Mobile. I built it from a trailer load of parts. The Beverly Hillbillies truck was my inspiration. It does not have any upholstery.

That would look much better with Model A wheels.

Distributor all cleaned and reinstalled. Engine runs but clutch is stuck. With engine off, it will shift into all gears. With engine running it grinds when trying to shift to any of the 4. Suggestions for the best way to get clutch to release would be appreciated.

Make sure you have some space in front of you, then start it in gear, get it moving, step on the clutch and then hit the brakes. That is how I have unstuck mine.

Will that work in reverse? It is in the garage at the top of the hill. I can only go backward for about 50 feet before being able to turn.
