[RS_COPO_Canuck]

I have a Mopar or two and can suggest the following. The clutch pedal popping can be a normal thing with age - such on a survivor. If this is a totally restored car, using all new/rebuilt parts....then it should be able to be adjusted so it doesn't happen.....assuming the correct parts were used in the assembly. Ticking on the passenger side could be as simple as a heat-riser valve - check that to see if it moves correctly with no slop caused by worn bushings. May be a weak lifter not pumping up.....a pain but totally fixable. The choke? I bet the car needs a real good tune up and a proper carb rebuild. What engine? Does it match? Who checked? How about some pics so I can tell you more? Where in Canada did you buy it? I know a lot of Mopar people there - respectable ones and the ones to avoid.
