Thanks for posting that video.  I found a Tilton throwout bearing that uses the stock retainer, it’s also adjustable without shims, using a threaded sleeve. Apparently I own the same manual that Brent does, I’m guilty of never personally removing the input shaft, and just trusting the literature.

I'm doing one right now.  I had a bellhousing on the shelf, so I used it. I would buy the dedicated bellhousing in hindsight.  The TKO toploader bellhousing with the spacer/adapter is a slight bit clumsy in my opinion.  I purchased a Ram flywheel and a Ram twin disk clutch.  Concept 9.5" clutch specifically.  So, no matter what Ram tells you, that clutch won't bolt to their f.e. billet flywheel. Their tech department can tell you a thousand times it has multiple bolt patterns and they are full of poo.  I utilized that particular clutch because of the sprung hub. The flywheel got bolted to my bridgeport, so the remaining bolt holes could be located and drilled.  The application is a 1967 Fairlane.  I have cut part of the trans tunnel to put the trans where I want it to live.  The stock shifter is a bit too far forward for me.  I will be doing something or a combo of somethings to bring the shifter to the left, and to the rear.  I went with the underdash hydraulics for the clutch pedal/cylinder setup, and Im super happy so far.  So for someone starting fresh, I would recommend the correct TKO bellhousing, with no spacers or adapters.  I would install an offset shifter after some research,  I'd do a hydraulic clutch but not the Ram I purchased.  There's a ton of clutch options, the one I had my heart set on was a Tilton twin street. They discontinued it this year.  I would build my own crossmember, I bought a kit you weld up, and I should have just bent some tubing myself, for the cost.  The TKX is super fussy about bell to flywheel runout. 

     Shopping Mufflers,  I’m wondering if anyone has experience with the Borla XR1?  Also what is everyone running on their FE street ride, that they’re pleased with.  Thanks everyone!

Very nice.  I don’t believe we have details of your car? I could be wrong.

This has been bugging me forever. My speedometer needle in my 66 Fairlane bounces as much as 10 mph when I'm doing 50-75 on the freeway. The cable was replaced when I swapped in the TKX so I ASSumed it must be the speedo head itself (it also did it with the C6).

How do you like the TKX? Also, what shifter did you wind up with?  I put a TKX in my 67 last weekend, Im shopping shifters, and probably will just build a crossmember.  Thanks for any info

Has anyone ran the Evans high performance, or classic car Waterless engine coolant? If so was it a good experience, something you recommend?

well thats a beast.  Im guessing that was frustrating at times, but a really enjoyable project.  It's really quite an achievement.
