Well ended up blasting all the trans parts, as the pressure plate and such were crusty and rusty.

All the Parts Prepped and ready for Blasting. Used Tape to cover the Friction surfaces, where the clutch runs. want to protect this so i do NOT have to machine it.

I Then primed all the parts up, did not take any pictures of that process, sorry... but you can see the primer outline on the cardboard made sure that ALL parts were completely coated and sealed via primer, did about 3 light coats on all parts.

Then applied Top Coat, 2-3 Coats on each part.

All Parts painted up

Yeah Yeah, i know the pressure plate and flywheel are left plain... but i primed them to protect them, could have stopped there, but could not find cast iron paint, so went with the Chevrolet Grey. You will not see any of these items once assembled, but I am happy.

while in the engine, was looking at the fuel pump. i want to at least replace the diaphragm with   FS-371 for ethanol

if i rebuild The Pump how hard is it to completely do so with this kit:   FS-908.

is there any way to tell IF if needs to be rebuilt or has been rebuilt recently ?? 

Here are pictures of   1929 Fuel Pump, i bought the screen, gasket, and paper filter when i got the car for test runs...

What do the two nuts/ screws on top do ?? do both house Valve Springs to control flow and direction of Fuel through the pump to the carb ??
looking at 1929 I&O pg 41, same as what is in the 1929 Repair Manual as well.

Well i did order TFS Items: FS-908 FUEL PUMP REBUILD KIT & FS-371 FUEL PUMP DIAPHRAGM. this way i can rebuild the pump if needed, and if not i have spare parts for it if i ever do order the Diaphragm just to have as a spare, i know the rebuild kit has one in it. figure it would not hurt to have a spare lying around.
