Dad managed to get the ball out of the part in question... he left it in the carburetor cleaner bucket for two days and it rolled right out. I guess it was gunked up good.
However, as with all things Stovebolt, he has encountered another issue.
http://chevy.tocmp.com/1929_57chevyparts/57cmpc0295.htm Using the above diagram... the following parts are missing, the hole was filled up with 'goop' as dad called it. I wasn't there when he discovered this.
The parts missing:
spring 3.823
screw 3.822
Those parts are not in the rebuild kit, as I imagine that they are supposed to be reused.
Anyone have an idea of how to acquire these parts... I would imagine that they would have to be used?
Wrenchbender, thanks for the offer.
