Why is the universal joint cap (A-4520-C) of my 1928 Phaeton - engine # CA5883 - a different shape to that shown in the diagram pA26 of your parts book. It has a large rear facing "hook" cast as part of the upper plate - What is the purpose of the hook?
Hi!
The 1928 Model A used the hook type ball cap which was later changed to the more common type w/o the hook.
This was a support for the rear of the engine trans. I believe that it added more to the felt vibration from the drive so it was removed.
Thank you!!
