Hey Guys!
Wasn't able to get the clutch done in time for Halloween. I ran myself ragged on Monday or Tuesday, and decided to not hurry through the job to meet a deadline. So far the transmission, drive shaft, lower bell-housing, and linkage is all connected. I tried to get the "clutch pedal free play" set, and this is what happened... (See pic below)
Oh, and add to that the thermostat housing I repaired separated. So it looks like I will be ordering a cast brass housing from...http://www.packards-today.com/catalog.php?CID=7 Has anyone ordered from this site before? Is it safe to do business with this company?
If anyone has a spare rod for the clutch, I'm interested. If not, looks like there is a trip to the machine shop in my future. Days like today stink! But that is just how it is sometimes with old cars, right?
