"clunky sound if i squeeze the seatstays" That is a Very Bad sign.

1st things 1st:

A) Is the wheel that you are installing checked for proper dish?

2) Check the frame alignment w/ Sheldon Brown's method "Checking Alignment (Symmetry)/String Method"

Bicycle Frame/Hub Spacing

III) Very thoroughly check each and every bond on the frameset, your clunky sound may spell doom.
Repairs on these bonded frames required specialized techniques and materials, the old source from "back when" is long gone.

Good luck,
