Re: '32 4CYL Engine with high compression - Spark Plug Advise Please

Just retard the spark a tad until you get no more pinging. The plugs look fine. I set my gap a bit closer (In model A) to .025, but I think that is the setting for a B engine.

Re: Rear Diff Plug HELP

Use the plug sold for that application. The housing is unlikely to have been modified.

Re: tranny ngears.... headlight rim cork

They used to, and maybe still do, sell rubber (type) gasket for the headlight reflector to rim gaskets.

Re: Head Gasket Seeping Above Serial Number

Add some powdered stop leak like Alumaseal or such. It will not clog the radiator if you follow the label and will stop the seep. But do check the head bolt torque.

Re: Transmission Question

If you are just moving it around the property yes remove the plugs to make it easier. Add a squirt of oil into the cylinders.

Re: Front brake shoes grab

Nobody mentioned that grease or other contaminants on the linings or drum can cause this to happen, especially when first using the brakes.

Re: Wobbly dist—hard to disgnose/fix?

It must have a bent or stuck shaft. It shouldn't be an expensive fix.

Yes, with a crack things can move, but not enough to disengage the disk.

Re: Throw out bearing grease fitting

The throwout bearing most likely is the type that will not take grease and the fitting is only there to lube the bearing collar. Why not leave it as is and just give it a few drops of heavy oil now...
