That was my thought too, although I don't see any evidence of wiring & there are no other signal lights. It's just the shape of the hole that's...
Good day all. Wondering if anyone would know what these holes are for in the outer edges of the back of this '35 Ford? Not the center set for the...
Not sure yet, the block is tight enough up against the firewall so I can't quite read the numbers yet. I'll leave it if necessary & run mismatched...
I'm pretty confident the original paint is good, this car is super solid & the lacquer primer is worn off in spots so I am going to try and wet...
Thank you. That is exactly what I needed to know. Crossmember has been torched to fit the trans so will need work but not an issue. Appreciate the...
Thank you sir. That looks like it will work. Appreciate it.
Thank you. I've known the older gentleman that owned it for a number of years. He is, and I say this with all respects, a tough & crusty old...
Ok thank you sir. If that's the case I'll leave it, just seems rather excessive.
Afternoon everyone. I thought this was really cool so I thought I would share. This car has been tucked away in a garage since 1963-ish & I was...
Here's a great picture that illustrates why it's so important to protect yourself. Not a mark on me. I was lucky that time...
Thanks guys.
Could anybody kindly shed any light on these codes? I found this tucked away in old shop today. The block casting number is 3914678 which...
Yep. Told the girlfriend about the potential new 1/4'' of travel, maybe she'll stop bitching now.
Ok guys, thank you all for your help, much appreciated as always. Going to fine tune this operation, change the slave to a Howe just to be safe &...
Ok good enough sir, appreciate your input once again. I am testing it with the motor off & no driveshaft, as the car isn't wired yet and the...
Great thank you Bob. Would you be able to guess at what the travel is at the outer end of the clutch fork so I have a ballpark to compare it to?...
Ok good to know thank you sir. Here's another question I would appreciate input on if someone would be kind enough to comment, when a diaphragm...
Hi Bob. I'm pretty sure it's a late 60's cast Chevy truck bellhousing with the matching truck fork now. Afco master with 7/8'' bore, Welder Series...
I did exactly that sir, however I don't have a ton of experience with manual transmissions and thus haven't stepped on enough pressure plates to...
Regardless sir I thank you for your help thus far. Without you posting that video earlier the light bulb would not have come on and I likely would...
This is before sir. The release bearing wasn't fully seated in the fork, it was pulled partly out once the input shaft went in, as the pivot point...
Thanks to all for the advice & help, was able to identify part of the problem. For whatever reason, the pivot ball pocket on the clutch fork is...
Thank you for taking the time to post that video sir, I actually watched that as well to ensure I had the bearing in properly. I will get under...
Sounds good sir thank you. What is throwing me off is the bearing only fits into the fork 1 way, I think it's one of the newer style bearings...
Good enough sir, thank you. The fork is adjusted so it is angled approx. 5 degrees towards the engine & the bearing not quite resting on the...
I appreciate the comments sir. The clutch does release by moving it by hand, I have confirmed this a few times and confirmed all is well. Input...
Ok thank you sir, appreciate the input. The release bearing is properly adjusted to about 1/8'' from the pressure plate with an adjustable pivot...
Ok thanks guys, appreciate the input. The slave has about 7/8'' travel, the travel is the same either whether it is attached to the clutch arm or...
Good evening all. I wondered if anyone has ever had an issue with lack of travel on a pull-type slave cylinder and could recommend a particular...
