First up the Q has developed a noise that comes and goes, hot or cold. i have only noticed it at idle. oil pressure is fine. It sounds valve clearance. Checked and with in spec.
If the car had hydraulic lash adjusters i say its that, but it hasn't.
I have a feeling its coming from the oil pump area, you can feel the noise aswell as hear it through the oil lines.

Second thing, i am tackling the front shackle as i think the front end is rock hard. i was able to remove 2 pins but the others are stuck. and of cause its the ones in the chassis. so can't press em out. Is there a trick that people have found to work best to remove them.
Also is there supposed to be a grease hole in them?
I also removed the front shockers and they were dated to 1960. So this has left a question was the car on the road still in the 60s or is this when the restoration began. A question that i will never know the answer to unfortunately.
