Re: Crankshaft pulley
Thanks guys
I will start with removing the radiator and see what I have for room and if need be I will remove the rear motor mounts and jack the engine.
It is always something isn't it?

29 Sport Coupe won't start
Finally got the 29 Sport Coupe running. It was something in the distributor.
Very labor intensive (for Me anyway) but followed the step by step and finally chased it down.
Thanks guys.
