I figured out the master cylinder was a clutch master cylinder. It seems
to
be working ok for the brakes. Two came with the project, I installed the
second one for the clutch. I put new kits in both of them. I bought a
slave cylinder and now the clutch seems to be working.
I had a shop make me a drive shaft and I now have the engine mounted. I
installed the radiator, found hoses that work. I filled it with water,
the
first time had a couple of open ****ts. I got them all closed off and now
it
is holding water.
I cranked it long enough to get the oil pressure to come up. The coil
does
not seem to be producing spark. I ordered a new coil and spark plug
wires.
Maybe next week I will be able to hear the engine make noise.
If the engine seems to be usable, I will spend the big bucks to have a
custom exhaust header made.
I ordered a bolt set to allow me to install the finders and running
boards.
