UPDATE... I HAVE A CLUTCH NOW!!!!!!!! Woo Hoo!!!!!



Yes Don. That is the clutch master I'm using. Can you tell me what is wrong with them? Everything in the system is new.

What was the problem with rpm issue you had.

smokinss 04-25-2014 02:50 PM

The fuel cutoff got in the tune somehow from what Ron told me. Don took care of it in a few minutes. All better now.

The clutch is fine now. It was just a matter of bleeding it. We used the Phoenix system which pushes fluid and I had a clutch in 10 minutes after screwing with it for almost 3 weeks. Went to take it for a ride and the car wouldn't run past 2k. Like Justin said the fuel cutoff was at 2k. Don took care of that for me and I went for a ride the other night. Feels weird with the manual in the car.

Got most of the interior buttoned up last night. Have to fix a small header leak. I should have the new center section for the rear end in next week. Then it's a matter of cleaning the sled!

Still haven't really driven it yet. Trying to fix everything before I start driving. Only put 5 miles on it so far.

Tonight's crap disaster. :Oops: Getting this welded up tomorrow.

Hopefully this will be the last of it.

ZFreie 04-26-2014 01:57 PM

Must not seal very well lol

ls6monte 04-27-2014 03:12 AM

Frank, the pedals are an original set from a G Body.

Got the header fixed tonight and put back on the car.

Got the shift boot and shift knob installed.

Shift boot is a cheapie till I can figure out if I'm going to use the console or get something else. It will work in the meantime.

Hopefully tomorrow I can start to drive it. Woo Hoo!!!

Looks killer! Did these have the option for manual trannys from factory? If they did must have been a 5speed?

black heartbeat 04-27-2014 09:44 AM

That thing looks awesome Ronnie!

frankzlt1 04-27-2014 11:27 AM

Looks good with the factory console.

smokinss 04-27-2014 12:24 PM

Nice! Now bring it down here so I can teach you to drive it!!!

DavidS 04-27-2014 04:46 PM

They did have that option but it was a 4 speed. I believe 80/81 was the last year.

Thanks everybody! I put about 60 miles on it today. So much fun!!!!

ls6monte 04-30-2014 03:05 AM

This was tonight's doing.

http://i187.photobucket.com/albums/x...pssr5f8kht.jpg

Picked up the new rear center section from my friend that ordered it for me. 31 spline axles, Detroit Trutrac with 4.11 gears. We got that installed tonight.

http://i187.photobucket.com/albums/x...ps9sydgflc.jpg

Please don't mind the red silicone. My friend likes to use it all the time.

Letting it set overnight. Will fill it up in the am and let the gears break in.

Hopefully will be done finally and can start to put miles on it this weekend.

frankzlt1 04-30-2014 10:19 AM

I had 3.70 gears before. The 4.11's should be fine for me.

Breaking in the new gears this am. Whenever the weather gets nice it will be out.

Car sounds so good.
