UPDATE: I studied the area and decided that there was no reason for a chain drive. The tube surrounding the area is bolted securely on both ends and there is no possibility of the flex that a chain drive would dampen. I custom built a drive shaft out of 1 1/4 tube by mig welding the O.D. spline...

Thanks Bob!!! That link is perfect! Does my plan seem solid?

Update: I have cut the sprocket off of the spline side. Spline is in excellent shape. Plan is to MiG the new sprocket on. I lost 1/4 inch after cutting and grinding flat. I am thinking that I will cut the teeth off of the pinion side and MiG the new sprocket on. I had a local old school guy...

Original 1929 Ford Tillotson Model XF Carb for Model A. It has been in a barn for 20+ years. Pretty decent shape; Very serviceable. Look closely at the pictures. Not rebuilt but GOOD CORE TO REBUILD. Asking $40 plus shipping. I also have it on EBay, so let me know if interested.

Thanks Kurt! V8 MGB sounds very interesting. High HP, light weight, short wheelbase; my kind of car!!

Thanks Art!! I appreciate the heads up! Sprockets will be replaced.

I just have to figure out size and procedure to replace....

Thank You!!!

I have found the problem!!! There is a chain that connects the OD to the rear end. It has destroyed itself! I don't yet know where the rest is. Thoughts? Splines look OK. Where can I find this chain??

The problem is definitely in the tube that connects the OD to the rear diff. Whatever connects in there, is grinding hard. I put it up on jack stands and put it in gear. Absolutely no doubt the noise is in that spot.

Hey All, I was sitting at a full stop, put the car in gear, and it wouldn't move. just a grinding noise coming from the tube between the rear diff and the overdrive. I have attached a couple of pictures with arrows showing where the noise is coming from. I believe I have a Borg Warner overdrive...

Original 1929 Ford Model A Wheels. I have 2 total. Not reproduction pieces. I have never had them on a car or professionally checked, but I don't see any bent spokes or other damage. They are coated in primer. I do see some pitting. Found in a barn; in storage 20+ years. What you see is what...

Great articles Tom! Thanks for sharing all of this info!

Yeah. I thought it did, but after thinking about it, I'm not sure. Sorry about that. It definitely did it with the trans out of gear and pushing the clutch in made no difference.

I greased the speedo cable last night and test drove; noise is gone! I'm going to drive it again later today. Hopefully that was it! I'll post an update this evening.

Thanks Benson! I'll give that a try. In regards to the amp meter, I am not convinced that is working properly. I have only had the car four months, but it has always read high. I found a good excessive output test that I will run to make sure.

You know Mitch, my first thought was throw out bearing issue. I'll pull the cover and see what is going on. Do you know of a posted procedure for greasing the bearing?
