Mike,My advice…don’t do anything for a day or two. :cool:A Speedster buddy installed a hydraulic clutch with a remote reservoir.It uses a stock pedal cluster with a couple minor mods.I just emailed him for permission to share his address.Stay tuned.

The year I went, as I approached the event, I was waved into the show field

Ray,, the manifold and carb. came from Quebec the claim is that they are more open with longer runners for better torque. the carb. is a  n.o.s. 1972 before GM had to lean them out to meet US emissions,,they are still available on line, as off road . the later carbs. had vacuum secondary throttle plates. I also changed over to hand choke .

Pertronix, Roy. SVA. The timing didn’t move; I set it wrong. Too advanced, so it ran a little warm. It did not overheat, according to my Berg dipstick thermometer. Not even close. Just lost 10 lbs of oil pressure at speed. The pressure came back after a few minutes when I slowed the car down.Will recheck & set the valve lash Saturday & then…[Read more]
