Ticking / clicking sound when tightening PP to flywheel

I was hearing a ticking or clicking sound when I was tightening down the pressure plate, even before I torqued the bolts. I sure hope I don't have to take this apart again. Any ideas Im worried that it may have been the rivets holding the Center disk to the clutch plate that broke. When I spin the a...

I have the motor on a stand, the 4spd tranny on a tire in the drive way, the spindles are separated from the tranny, and everything is off the cradle because I bought a newer condition cradle.

Re: Early year air filter canister snout gasket needed-HELP

Once the gasket is In and the air tube is on that's the end of it. My gasket isn't in TERRIBLE condition , I am just looking for one while I have everything apart.

I really don't want to pay for an air filter canister.
