I’m curious, did the new clutches eliminate the clearance issue you were having? I’ve been able to reuse GM clutch packs reliably unless they have obvious overheating damage.

Both the tabs of the clutches as well as the clips that hold them in the diff carrier were badly worn. Between the tabs and the clips as much as .050inch. I was getting several degrees of free play at the drive shaft before the wheels even started to move. I bought it used and it was very clearly abused and worn out. Im just glad the diff was ok as I didnt wanna spend more money.

Just a heads up with those new clutches. I would always worn my customers when I installed a new Eaton Posi with those clutches to be careful when doing a burnout. If they were going to be drag racing I would warn them to skip the water burnout and to never do a burnout while holding the brake. If those clutches slip they will over heat and glaze. Then they don't work anymore. Back then Eaton was still making the original 18 disc steel clutches and I replaced several sets of the new clutches with the old ones for drag racers or people who liked making tire smoke. It's been several years since I bought new clutches so I don't know if Eaton still makes the original ones or not.

Beautiful job on the wiper motor. Just took a couple pics of mine, which is original to the car. Appears my non depressed park motor uses a lesser offset arm. Can't get a pic of the stamping if any is there, but the distance between pivots, center to center is roughly 2 inches.

Appreciate that. I have the correct one, which was the one I got with the car. I have a new question, the plates that sandwhich the wiper arm ball are yours original? Was your car Baltimore built? Mine were copper coated.

Not really sure if these were copper coated or not, possibly I cleaned them too well? The car is a KC Leeds car.
