Thanks to the information I have received on this forum and on another, my car is healing and should be on the road again soon. I'm impressed with all the fixes suggested. I'm installing a 5/16" fine thread bolt inside the plunger through the timing gear front cover with a locknut. A new aluminum gear is installed. I'll be starting with 0.010" clearance and see what happens.
There have been a few conversations started within the local club about timing gear noises and cures. All of this information advances those that want to learn so we can continue to drive and enjoy our Model A's. It is good to know so much help is available. Thank you.
