Thanks to everyone who walked me through those issues I couldn't immediately resolve on replacing the bad clutch pilot bearing on my '41 H. (I replaced the entire clutch assembly while I was in there). The H is up and running well.
I also learned something I'd like to pass along that may help someone else:
The manual says to remove three of the clutch to flywheel bolts from the OD to the three ID holes to compress the clutch springs when removing or re-installing the clutch and pressure plate.
Works like a charm on removal. However, I found that re-installing the pressure plate with this same method prevented the pressure plate from seating properly. Essentially, the OD of the pressure plate around the three open OD holes was bowed out due to the clutch spring force and the three bolts used to compress the springs weren't long enough to engage the flywheel threads at the bowed out locations.
The only way I could get everything to work was to buy three additional 5/16-18 x 1" bolts that I used to compress the springs, so that all 6 flywheel bolts could be installed and secured before the springs were decompressed.
One more item of interest:
The last thing to do was adjust the long external pushrod that runs from the clutch pedal to the actuation shaft. When all was said and done, the adjustment was fine, but the threaded end of the rod was engaging only about 1/2 the clevis threads, with about 2 inches exposed. Could I possibly have a rod from a B or C?

He had over a period of months spent a fair amount of his hard earned cash on replacement parts for the old "trembler" ignition. Sadly though all his efforts seemed to be a waste of time and money as he still couldn''t get the temperamental old thing to run correctly!! If i said that this was a little frustrating for him that would be "conservative" in fact the problem had reduce
