    Well I've been bleeding the crap out of it, seems to have all the air out,but can't get any pedal effort built up and no movement in the T/O bearing. Hope I don't have to pull this thing out to get the T/O bearing rebuilt. It's been hangin for several years now, but closed up with the lines connected to each other. I guess I shoulda checked it out before installing it in the bellhousing.. Got a damned mess under the car from all the spilled brake fluid. Good thing this ain't a show car either.:banghead: The Ranger used to be a pain to bleed the clutch too.

    same boat

    I am working on my 72 with the modern set up...not enough master cylinder travel. They will be sending me out another master with a larger bore to help increase the travel...I am dealing with Paul also.

    I got mine working a couple weeks ago. Everything's fine except for the firewall flexing. I'm going to fab a internal bracket like the one used in Mc Cleod's kit ( go to Summit Racing's site for pics) to stiffen the wall.
