Ft Wayne Clutch has been mentioned many times as a go-to for Multi-disk clutch refacing. I believe they are based in Detroit.

Re: Notes on getting your A declared property tax exempt in NC

no scam...you just show the clerk in the tax office that it is an antique car and the tax value gets listed as $500. just that simple. It took me all of 5 minutes to do this and I was out the door.

Re: Oil pan nut

#2 post Ruth has it right...the thread is 1/8" pipe thread, and it will keep the oil pump in place instead of dropping it on your head.
A great little gadget to have in your arsenal.

Re: early transmission

please at the very least, keep these parts under cover...indoors if possible.
Otherwise you may find your worn parts go to a zero value and useable parts end up as scrap value.
