Have '38 Ford with a '51 8BA V8 adapted to original 3-speed with an early 50's F1 flywheel. Starter locks up occasionally and can usually be jared loose but a real pain. Will a another starter or starter drive solve the problem? Any help appreciated.

I pulled the rear backing plates for cleaning and didn't note the position of the flat side of the center ring that bolts to the backing plate. Is there a correct position for this ring? Thanks for any help!

I'm wanting to put hydraulic brakes on my '38 tudor standard, thinking about discs on the front. Can I put later backing plates, say '42 to '48, on the back without changing out the rear end, and will I have to change the pedal assembly? Thanks for any help.
