Couple of follow up questions:

1. When you say more work, do you mean just more awkward to get at the snap ring and dust seal. From your description it sounds like the inner seal in fitted into...

I agree that this sounds like a vacuum issue. You might quickly check the hose that runs to the vacuum modulator to see if it is at all compromised (slightly cracked or maybe occluded). That was a...

Dennis,

Certainly. I've kind of lost track as to why you wanted another car ... because the body on the one you have is in need of a lot of work?

I'm not sure I know what you mean, but Ames sells a "Heater & AC Box Seal Kit" that has a bunch of spongy seals/gaskets. It is PN 134G ($22) for 1968-72.

Is the timing gear solid nylon, or nylon coated metal and are they (the new replacements) all still like that?
