The rear brake roller track assemblies on our coupe are set up for a threaded grease zerk to lube the cam shaft bushings. The ones on our coupe are a straight zerk. Is there a special end for a grease gun to be used on these. These zerks don't appear to be accessible whether the zerk is...

Is it uncommon to have to use a lever / crow bar to guide the rear spring into the cross member when initially lifting the unit to reattach the spring? When lifting our coupes rear end, as the spring reaches the u-bolts it contacts the edge of the end of the bolt, which is outside the ~ 1/2"...

31 coupe is new to me. Before timing the distributor, I loosened the clamp on the steering column at the steering box (above too) and adjusted the column to allow the full range of timing retard and advance within the 1" opening in the side of distributor body. The rod both was and still is...

Well, I watched a You tube video that stated some guys tighten to 25 foot pounds while others go all the way to 60. I checked the torque on mine yesterday and found they were around 25. I upped them to 30. Looked in the Les Andrews book, but didn't find a recommendation. In the back of the...
