    Help needed - Orientation of clutch shaft

    Thanks for the pics. That’s a long lever arm. Looks like the one that came off of my second C59A that had an 11” clutch. What I’m interested is the orientation of the mating shaft flange that goes through my hog’s head adapter with the forks when pressure plate is not depressed.

    Vintage V8 Ford Engine Repair Manual

    Found this great Ford Motor Company engine repair manual yesterday. Paid CAN$30. Wish I had it when I was rebuilding my 59A. They had a similar manual for rear axles but it was for trucks.

    The plight of the 1947 59A and finding someone willing to try

    Never seen such huge cracks. That’s insane. Did a great job of cleaning the block though.
