    Can anyone give me some help on locating clutch parts for my 56 special. 322 with 3 speed syncromesh. I have searched the site, and looked at some of the other places i have bought parts, but no luck with these.

    Have you tried locals like Autozone? I just got an engine rebuild gasket set for my 322 and they had the voltage regulator in stock. They are cheaper than the speciallty suppliers and I think the parts are made in the same place.

    Thank you for the inquiry regarding parts for your antique vehicle. We stock mostly N.O.S. (new original stock) parts for American automobiles from 1910-1970. We are a family business, catering to both the individual and the restoration shop. Due to the constantly changing prices and availability of many items, we are unable to furnish a catalog, This is a general overview of what we carry for all American cars and trucks. Please contact us with specific needs.


    -Ignition parts: a specialty. At ALL TIMES we can provide distributor caps, rotors, contact sets, condensers, coil resistors, braided 7mm or 9mm wire sets, vacuum advance units, coils, voltage regulators, generator cutouts, and spark plugs. We also have many starters, starter drives, vacuum starter switches, solenoid switches and solenoid repair kits. Many distributors and generators are in stock, as well as the brushes and bushings and igniter gears to service these units.

    -Brake parts: We have one of the LARGEST INVENTORIES of brake cables in the country for vehicles from the 30s thru the 70s. Extremely rare cables, such as those which predate 1935, can be remanufactured to exact specifications. Master cylinders and wheel cylinders are always available for nearly every car. We also offer a stainless resleeving and rebuild service for both W/C and M/C, as well as kits for those who have the time. We have moved away from relining brake shoes due to the escalating cost of labor, but do still offer linings and rivets for the ambitious. We do not handle drums or any power brake parts.

    -Mechanical parts: Pistons, rings, valves and guides, main and rod bearings, flywheel ring gears, water pumps, fuel pumps, fuel pump kits, timing gears, timing chains, fan belts, seals and universal joints are usually available. Other internal parts such as lifters, connecting rods, oil pump gears are less likely to be located these days.

    -Transmission parts: We have a HUGE selection of STANDARD transmission parts including cluster gears, mainshafts, layshafts, low and reverse gears, bearings, gasket sets, etc. Synchronizer rings have become increasingly difficult to obtain but we have stockpiled a fair amount of NOS units. We have a good supply of clutch disc, pressure plates, and throwout bearings as well.

    -Chassis parts: We are well stocked with king bolt sets, tie rod ends, shackle bolts, etc. We can sometimes help with shocks and springs, especially the lever action type. We also have a large selection of wheel seals and wheel bearings. Some motor mounts in stock.

    -Engine Gaskets: ALWAYS AVAILABLE. From the single headgasket to overhaul sets.

    -Headlight parts: A great supply of lenses are always on hand, as well as bulbs, trim rings and some complete lights.

    -Tailights: We stock many tailite lenses and complete units. These are usually very rare, and the cost reflects the availability.

    -Literature: is available from parts books to shop manuals to wiring diagrams. Inquire with specific needs.

    -Trim parts: we have runningboard mouldings available for most 30s cars. Also motometers, step plates, and occasionally other chrome or interior bits, such as door handles.


    Thank you for your interest.
