    Mechanical Advance distributor Identification help

    Busmoss, It's been a while since I set it and I will check next time I get my light out, but I think I set it at 20 degrees and it advances to 32 to 35 range. I could have set the advance higher but wanted it to start easy.

    Here are two pics from my 31 roadster with original panel above deck lid. I would still use your fold down and check method first because whoever put in the window in the top could have been off a bit.

    My 29 panel measures 1-1/8" high while my 31 measures 1/2 inch. It appears you are trying to use a 30-31 panel on your 28-29 body.

    B block hole repair

    I agree that metal stitching a crack is the best method of repair but I feel the new seats will have to be removed first to do it right. Do you think it will hold just stitching up next to the new seats?

    B block hole repair

    Bob, I will probably plug this hole but was going to use ferrous plug as I was considering sealing the block with sodium silicate after tapping and plugging and I didn't think the brass or copper would work as well with the waterglass.

They did it after the new seats were installed but before the valves were installed. The...

    Help with stuck U joint

    The transmission is locked up also. I took the plugs out but the pin at the back of the u joint is not visible. The u joint still flexes well, just won't slide out . I have the engine suspended so I can rock it, but haven't tried rocking the wheels because there are none. Just axles, no hubs...
