In my Red Model A Vol. I Mechanics Handbook page 1-331 lower right diagram...
my question is re: the two 7/16-20 nuts.
Are the two nuts fastened tightly or loose.
Mine are a tad loose and they have not been 'touched' since I bought the A in 1963. Would they be 'loose' because of the spacers and springs or should they be tight.
If they should be loose would it be because of the spacers and springs?
I don't want to tightened them if they should be loose.
I have no problem shifting.

Thank you in advance.
Randy
