The left is the old single pot master cylinder that bolts to the frame bracket under the driver floor with three bolts.
The new dual master...

You'll figure something out, those linkages are a trip, I like Russells idea of a forward reaching shift handle, like something for a bench seat, turned...

[milner351]

Progress is always good! The headmans exit down and to the rear, the ones you ordered from summit are more traditional street rod exiting straight down...

Maybe we can work out a trade for her 40? LOL...

[milner351]

Well - last night I managed to get the driver side front drum brake assembly off without having to cut the drum, but I did have to use the flame wrench...

Amazing work, there's no end to what you can do!

[milner351]

PLEASE DO IT, or if you don't bring your own car, you're welcome to ride with me!

[milner351]

[milner351]

Especially since Fuel is involved - as Beagle stated - probably best to TIG... I'm fuzzy on cast stuff, as I recall there's a rod and tungsten set up...
