The rubber part needs to be replaced

Marketplace - whippet cars | Facebook

I asked which dealership he bought it from being a true one owner and all.

My thoughts exactly.

OP has not visited the site since 2020.

My books go back to 1951 and this casting number is not there so may be earlier..

Does this driveline have a slip joint in the front? Might be glued up solid by old grease.

I like this one.

Only one socket, the rest must be reflectors. Cool piece.

Posted twice. Read my comments in your other post. New Port has good products, and I will bet that something has slipped out of place.

Can you see anything from under the dash? I would suspect that something has slipped at the motor. In the after-market system I played with not so long ago there was several places in the motor that the output of the motion could be adjusted. Like if the linkage is near the outside of the driven gear the arms would travel farther. Closer to the center would result in less travel of the arms. The driven wheel had a spiral affair that offered several settings.

Yup, double check any work sent out. Glad it turned out to be minor.

Yup, I just yesterday had some success with a heat gun. Corroded up boat seat swivel. Aluminum post stuck in a cast aluminum housing since 1978 and outdoors around salt water the whole time. A project that I never should have started by the way. Back when I did this kind of thing for a living, I got pretty good with the heat. Most boat motors are held together nicely with corrosion. Good job on the steering wheel puller.

Lots of good advice, however the OP went MIA. I guess it's only been a week, so might be back yet.
