1940 Brake Pedal Spring

Posted by todd landis On 2014/6/25 19:18:41

Just putting back together the clutch, brake pedal assembly, just about all together, except cannot remember where one end of the spring attaches to. This is at the base of the brake pedal shaft. One side of the shaft has the pivot shaft for the master cylinder, and the other side has a nub a spring goes on. Cannot remember if the other side of the spring attaches somewhere toward the rear to the chassis, or up on the driver side firewall. There does seem to be a small hole in the firewall access plate.
Been sick the past couple weeks and just wiped me out.
I was the guy a few weeks ago with the noisy lifters. Got another oil canister that seems to be a bit more correct as the inlet is at the bottom of the canister instead of the side, will machine out all fittings and internal oil holes for a bit more flow. HH explained the later motors that have the extra flow to the oil pan. Which mine does not. So let me run this by all of you. If I run from the oil pump outlet (pressure) to the oil canister for some filtering, and using a tee, a direct line to the lifter galley with some sort of needle valve to restrict the direct flow enough to force some oil to flow through the oil canister. Hope that makes sense.
Thanks for all of your time.
