Another possibility is speedo drive in gearbox ,
I did not mine skipping a little when back of car jacked up of ground  and running in gear.

Hi Glen !
          Your tow ute makes my tow ute look like a toy ! very nice just the same Like it alot.

Thank you Gary and Wayne great help !
I did find an old 30s heater wich mounts under dash on firewall its 75% restored now came from eBay CA

Unfortunately the engine is not her own but from a later Plymouth , I am trying to save her only because it has so much new parts and machine work done!
Glens idea will suite part of the repair but not all we will see soon as next week I start 4 weeks holidays and will give it my all !

Very nice car Glen !
I don't wish the issues I am having on my worst enemies . Not that I have any !

Hi all !
Found oil pressure problem , it's not fixed yet , there is a repair inside block right beside no.5 conrod ,it looks as if at one stage no.5 rod worked loose and put a hole in oil gallery that runs along the engine block ,somebody has attempted to do a repair but was not very successful as oil was leaking back into sump as fast as oil pump could push . I have now attempted to grind back & reweld with crank in place but it's to difficult, so I tore down engine  which has everything new and only run off and on for no more tan 4 to 5 min In short intervals, all bearings are still fine and will be reused if block can be saved.
Next step is to repair block with crank out  I have no other choice !
I think I am going to use 98% nickel arc rods which are about $10.00 a piece down under
Sure hope I can plug that leak or it another engine !

Got only five PSI  oil pressure next will check to see if oil pressure relieve valve is stuck open ! It ran for 45 seconds then shutdown until I find problem.

Gary is correct I did the same thing ! Front and rear I used high tensile bolts and drilled wire holes or use nyloc nuts .it did work fine then made edapters and put in a modern tail shaft for everyday use ' original can be put back at any time .
There is less rotating friction with cross universals.

Motor is almost ready for fire up just need to get oil pressure  and bottom radiator hose and it should make some noise tomorrow

Well made it back all went good took 8hrs towing back home , not a single bit of drama !

The ticking sound could be coming from hand brake drum, when turning and if there is not enough clearance the brake band moves a little in the side suports, another thing to check is flange nut is tight on end of gearbox also diff flange.
Try using longer bolts for new disks as well !
cheers Tony.
