The short answer is no. The longer answer is yes, but I only got around the neighborhood. I got the carb tuned and the timing map set, then I noticed that only one front brake was working. Leaky front wheel cylinder. Fixed that, but the clutch chatters like crazy. Really bad. So bad that I won't drive it.
I replaced the clutch, flywheel, & TO bearing back in the day, about 20 years ago. I have a feeling that I didn't get the TO bearing on the clutch fork correctly. So, now I have to pull the transmission. This time, I'm not messing around. I'm going to:
1) Have the new GM flywheel resurfaced (just to be sure)
2) Put in a new Luk clutch disc & pressure plate
3) Install new bronze pilot bushing
4) Install new GM clutch fork
5) Install a new US-made TO bearing.
6) Install new GM pivot ball stud
7) Install a NOS GM transmission input bearing retainer (the 'tube' that the TO bearing slides on).
Hopefully that will do it. I have all the parts. I just need to do the job, which I'm not looking forward to.
I'm in the middle of some house projects, so the clutch job is being delayed a little.
