Re: 47 V8 ignition mystery
Thanks. I believe that we will have all of that and more.
(Congratulations! Your post was the 200th of this thread that was thought would never end. Maybe now it can.)

Re: 47 V8 ignition mystery
I don't know what others may think, but it might be worth holding the clutch pedal down to try and avoid clutch plate getting stuck. Or ask your son to not only start it up but engage forward and reverse gears and let the clutch almost bite.
Have a productive and rewarding mission trip. Mart. |

Re: 47 V8 ignition mystery
Mart, while its a good thought to protect the clutch disk, I believe its not a problem with the nice dry air in Utah.

Re: 47 V8 ignition mystery
I put mine on jackstands when it’s put away for winter 4-5 months.

Check for a leak where the distributor mounts to the timing cover. There should be a special rubber O-ring at the rear of the distributor that seals the vacuum to the distributor vacuum brake. Last edited by Terry,OH; 01-24-2024 at 09:52 AM. |
