Thanks for the responses.

After reading the responses (thanks btw) I took a closer look and after blowing out some dirt, saw there is a slotted screw in each. My question now is should this be plugged with something like the driver's side or isn't it necessary? My concern is if leaving it unplugged, would be noticeable...

Currently working on a 1930 Tudor. What is used in the two holes circled in the photo? The driver's side has a material in those holes, but I can't determine what it is.

Thank you very much. That was much more detailed than I was expecting and will be very helpful.

Thanks everyone for the replies. Dennis lumbert, could you provide a little more information about how you put the foam in the springs? Did you put foam in each turn of the coil or stuff it down the middle of the coil?

Taking it out is easy. Putting it back in can be another story:)

Needed to be done, but it will be greatly missed.

If you stream your TV programs and use Pluto the Henry Ford biography is on with interesting footage.

You certainly couldn't "deluxe" one now days for $35.00, let alone $70.00:)
