I have original style valves

Sorry for the double post. I didn't think the first one posted

I should also mention that when I got the car it only ran on 2 cylinders and found 1 and 4 exhaust valves stuck. I sprayed carb cleaner and pb blaster on the valves and got them unstuck. I think that's why the springs went bad and took set to that height.

Mine ran the same as you describe. I did all.the same things you tried. I tuned it up went through the carb and it still didn't run right off idle. The GAV had no effect when adjusted even after going through the carb. I shorted out cylinders at idle and they were all hitting but off idle 1 and...

Mine ran the same why you describe. It sat for.a long time. Got it running and it was ran on 2 cylinders and was back firing found 2 exhaust valves stuck open. Got them unstuck and it ran on all 4 but missed when accelerating. Did all.them same things you tried. Figured it needed it anyway...

I think I have my clutch issue solved. I got a new collar and found the old one was messed with before. The new collar brought the pedal up to 1/2 inch to being even with the brake pedal. I heated the clutch pedal and got it level with brake pedal. Also got a new clutch disc and pressure plate...

It moves by hand until it gets to the fingers on the pressure plate

I can push the pedal down by hand when all is hooked up but but not the arm it's self

It does have the correct hub. Could I have the wrong clutch arm? How could I tell if it's right?

I tried the 3/4 adjustment on the fingers and it made no difference. I tried an original wore out pressure plate.and.still.the same. The only thing I haven't changed yet is the disc. I only have this one that is .400 thick. Les Anderson says it's supposed to be.340. These new parts I have are at...

I did check disc and it was install correct. I'm going to experiment with the fingers at 3/4. If the fingers are closer to the disc and I adjust at pedal it should release higher on the pedal. Either way I did find out it is the disc with the springs that can come out. I still want to get a...

Here's what I found out tonight. I took the trans out and checked finger adjustments. They were way off. I had them with in .002 when I started. They went out of adjustment. Just by pushing in clutch. I did tap on them after adjusting them and rechecked them. Changed plate with another new one...

Today after work I am pulling trans and swapping out the pressure plate. I'm glad I found this issue before had chassis all together.

I did put both new shafts in with all new bushings. That not saying they sent me the wrong one. I will check that out. Thank you for the pictures.

I did check the arm while the clutch was pushed and it didn't see any cracks. When I first started with this issue. I checked to make sure all the fingers touched the bearing evenly. They were perfect. Now I see the top ones aren't touching when the bottom ones are. I think I am going to start...
