AAron65 , Good going.

TexRiv-63 gave you the best advice.

It seems the clutch disc is not moving squarely on the input shaft . Check the movement of the release bearing . It is possible the pivot arm is worn or out of line.

The big question is what year make and model car ? The distributor on some models will fit only one way. The keyway at the end of the shaft is offset and will never set in the slot if the shaft is not lined up. some distributors have splined drive . Which ones are we talking about ? The picture by Minibago shows the type #TU10820-A Which I describe above. With a splined rive distributor it is possible to set the timing incorrectly.

Some thing does not seem right with nails. The holes does not go through the bock, just about 3/16 or so. Those pins looks like twisted nail, the ends are blunt. they are made of hard steel. The hole must be precise . While hammering in place the pin twist in the predrilled hole and locks itself . You may try to remove them by using a sharp object like a knife behind the pin head and tap slightly. You risk injury to the plate if not careful. Here is a source for pin screw nails "carolinharris@aircraftspruce.ca. List a million sizes.

Restorers remove the pins and tags and replace with new ones. Those pins are available. But why not just tape it or dab it with grease as JFranklin said. When finished the job wash with Vap o Rust.

I recently found there re many companies in the US and Canada do sand casting parts , you name it, just send the sample. Some even advertises " no job too small"

🙂How many of you remember Ralph Nader ? The Volkswagen, according to him, was the most unsafe car at any speed. He was responsible for forcing the manufacturers to make safer cars. I think some models of Jeeps were in the mix ? Some of the qualities he argued was the ratio of height to width of some vehicles ?

I had a 3 on the 3 on a 1969 Buick Century with a Chevy 6 cylinder engine.

What part are you looking for ? Vintage Restoration and Reproduction in Australia ha s gone out of business, (retired) they are selling out whatever stock they have. I just bought a DOD 73 for my distributor, a plate for modern points and a DOD 71. The Australian dollar is a good bargain at present They have covers and gaskets for vacuum tanks.

I am a product of British Colonial. My education is controlled by Oxford and Cambridge University , the exact same as the students in England. The English language syllabus for the African countries were of a lower standard. Notice their grammar , spelling, sentences. A give away. Another clue is they are always apologetic.

This is an old scam Just being revived. It works like this. " I advertised my car for sale, asking price 10 000 dollars. The scammer offers me 14 thousand instead. He mails me a genuine looking certified check for 14 thousand dollars, I deposit it in my bank. ( the bank holds payment for a week) " I am sending a tow truck to pick up the car tomorow. You will give the driver 2 000 dollars cash he says on the phone. You will keep the rest. (I will be getting 12 thousand for a 10000 car)? Great deal. Do you remember you advertised the car for sale 10 000 ? Well 12 thousand looks like a great deal. So the scammer comes and picks up the car, you give him 200 thousand hard cash. After a week the bank calls you and gives you the good news. " the check is fake. You a charged 28 dollars bank processing fee. So in the end you lost your car plus 4000 thousand hard cash and 28 dollars to the bank. The word 'God bless ' is a clue to scams. NIGERIAN SCAM it is called in Canada But GREED in humans is ever present . Any time a bargain looks too good to be true it is too good to be true. Cheapness at first is sweet but leaves a bitter taste for a long time.

I restored a 1972 Serries 2 Land Rover a few years ago. I bought a new frame from a Land Rover Supplier in Half Moon Park New York.US. There were no numbers stamped on it. The Diff, front and rear, gear box, radiator had numbers on them. These numbers were used for registering Heritage Status, buy all kind of badges and dress up the truck. Install a badge bar on the front bumper and screw on all sorts of fancy badges. Looks great. Most European cars are Unit Bodies. They have no frame to replace. Repairs on rotted spot can be easily done. My 1972 MGB has numbers required for Heritage Status. There is a registary of every car at time of build at the factory. Each one with its own birth certificate.

I am not saying it is but check springs around the center of the clutch. See if the springs rattle.

On some cars the chicken wire on the roof was used as an antenna, drained batteries were a result of playing radio while standing with the engine off. Only AM signals were available so the transmitting stations had to be close.

It appears there has been a sleeve job already. Now sleeve jobs are done with stainless steel. On my 28 DB I have all 4 Wheel cylinders done in stainless steel.

I said in a post above the title is the "History Of The Dodge Brothers" It is a detailed history, there involvement with Ford, fall out and what follows.

Give it a few light passes , wipe clean and look for low spots as you would do in a cylinder block.

Every part was made in house. Take a look at the UTUBE video. The electrical components were probably made by North/East electric. The video did not show who made the carburetor or what carburetor was used.,

There is a video on UTUBE about Dodge Brothers history, life and times. In 1914 they started manufacturing cars in their own factory. Every component was their own from start to finish. Employees were weighing pistons. The pistons appear to be cast iron. Every part was checked for quality control right up to paint. At what point in time this wholly owned and manufacture lasted I do not know. The video does not say. I would like to hear from readers who know.

There must be some one on this forum who will be able to help with a wiring diagram. How about the resources provided by the AACA? I found a site online about 3 years ago , but I cannot remember exactly, the title, wiring diagrams for my 1972 MGB. for free. There were diagrams for Other makes and models.

The brake lining on my 28DB is asbestos, new from Cyndy Meyers. I was told to bake it for 20 minutes in an oven before riveting . The brake shoes are made of cast alumminium. I am just wondering if the same lining material can be baked on steel shoes.

I never seen a Dodge with the hood opening both sides . I am not saying there was none. But I know my 1941 Buick hood opened both sides.

Cork seal is not the best material. there is an asbestos rope . Push it in the grove and pound it into place. when cutting off the excess leave about 010 thou at the ends for 'crush" when tightening the caps.

articbuick check with the MTO of Ontario. Driving cars must be taken in context. A 19 45 Chev was good to drive on a 2 lane highway then. Drive one now on the 401 freeway and these little Honda Civic would make circles around you. Not a safe place to be.
