Well my "big day" turned into a lesson on "weakest link in the chain". (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif)
While adjusting the clutch cable the "cleavis" sp? that attaches to the pedal end of the cable exploded. Closer inspection of the pedal level (where the cable attaches) revealed and shot bushing and a hole in the shape of an easter egg. I have new parts already, but now realize that they too will be ruined if the lever is not address. As soon as I can pull the pedal assembly, I will post more pics. I have some ideas of how to repair, but need to inspect further. standby Attached image(s)

She runs! She runs! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/clap56.gif)
Finally got her out the garage and around the blocks a few times. Really ran rough, but good enough to make sure that i could find all 5 gears and reverse. Side shifter is much much better than the old tail shifter. Picking up new spark plugs this afternoon then tweek the clutch a little more tomarrow. thanks all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
