Its been a while, things going slow, waiting on parts, getting sent the wrong things, then a bench full of parts and i end up working 6 10's days a week for the last 3 months. I been burned out pretty much. I enjoyed the FE reunion though, was happy to meet a few of you guys. I wish i could have been there longer but as it was i left 3am saterday morning and drove nearly 7 hours to get there around 10am. Had a great time and scored a few parts i had lined up, hung out till the race was over and drove straight back home after stopping for a good meal, making it home around 2:30am. It was totally worth it though.
So, im back to work on the stang. Had to reace the tank to carbs fuel line, re build the Mallory comp pump, stuck a new 900 ca battery in, ran a new alternator wire, installed the radiator and coolant lines. Finally got my clutch setup installed after replacing the springs . Had the wrong springs sent twice. I returned them the first time and ill be damed if they didn't turn around and send the same ones back, same box and all lol. Finally on the next try i got the ones i wanted or close enough anyway. They were supose to be 65# at 1.850 height, (ram springs) well the old Hays mark 12 sets up at 1.900 and every spring checked at 70# @ 1.850 and 68# @ 1.90 so close enough. Anyway im rambling, pressure plate is all back together and set, (no counter weight yet, ill add that later) clutch can installed and dialed in, should be slipping the ol jerico in this weekend.
I really need to thank David Walter's for selling me my clutch and flywheel back to me. I reached out to him and he really helped me out by selling it back to me. Thanks a bunch David.
Anyway im hoping to start making progress again, im way behind. Hopfuly i get the rest of the drive train in this weekend and get my rocker shafts switched over to the new DSC shafts. Hoping to put some fire in the hole by next weekend.
