IF those are the new 97s, the little check ball is stuck. 11/16" take it loose from carb, free it up with your fingers, .....it will happen again...
Gotta be post of the month, some great pics in comments, leaving it with patina is perfect. Flattie fer sure, and leave that little hook in the...
Using a reversed Corvair unit with an old truck arm on my 34 Coudan. NO problems, it was a bit slow, so redrilled the arm off the spindle by...

I have a flatty to S10 trans, used a plain ol standard master cyl and lined it over to a slave from Krylon/Cornhusker.....works great, and a LOT...
Mint condition, T rear crossmember, pretty sure never on a car, got from a dealer who actually operated from 1923 til 1964. $65 plus the ride.
Had S10 trans checked before build, the shop said it was great.....but it jumps out of first gear as soon as the clutch is released, can't even...

No, but thanks for the input....really baffled, none of my pressure plates will reach far enough toward the bearing to engage enough to activate,...
For the record, Mr. Dummy here forgot, the fingers move OUT about an inch when bolts are removed, duh, so it is NOT the pressure plate as I had...
this is an 8BA flathead, and starting to think something is simply mis-drilled in the kit, or wrong skinny throwout bearing, or something with the...
Thanks, I agree, but the way this comes from Cornhusker the fork and bearing are at the rearmost set, and even after total throw forward, it...
