    Installed my adjustable Clutch Pedal stop for Hydraulic Clutch M/C, modified a 1/2-13 Grade 8 bolt and nuts (turned OD on one and other as locking), round rubber pad acts as a damper.

    Moved Duraspark ignition module from under the hood to the driver fender well. Luckily there was enough wire length to reach without problem. Added 150 amp fuse to 3g alternator connection.

    The under hood heat seems to kill modules about every year or two.
