now that my 3.2 conversion is up and running I have a few bugs to work out, and i'm hoping to gain some knowledge from others that have been there done that.
My car is a 74 that previously had a 2.7 and now has a 3.2 with a KEP stage two clutch PP set up, stock DME 3.2 , and Rich Johnson mount.


My questions are:

1. How is your airfilter routed with pics please. My AFM is in it's semi orig location and my current cone filter is just barely hitting the lid. I have a smaller diameter cone on order, but wanted to see what others have done.

2. I was told, that my Pilot bearing on the tranny seems to be turning all the time. My engagement is closer to the floor than i'm used to but even with a small spacer on the clutch cable end, i'm still at the end of thread for the adjusting nuts. Is a bigger spacer the answer or am i missing something specific to the kennedy set up that I should do.

hopefully this made sense, I have pics on my home computer i can post later.

TIA

Ferg.

I can see by your picture that you need the drain pipe to extend the air flow meter.
If you extend the air flow meter with a pipe it will allow you to mount the air flow meter lower so the air cleaner won't hit.
The pipe from home depot only comes in something like 4' lengths.
I had to cut it down.
The pipe says 3" PE CO EX solid drain pipe on it.
I also brought the air flow meter with me to home depot to match everything up.
The pipe is 3" on the inside.
Bring your air flow meter to home depot.
Find the 3" pipe and then find a matching adapter there to go between the pipe and the air flow meter.
You can also do it the more expensive way and call up GPR and buy there adapter and pipe.

When I get a chance today I will scan the instructions from KEP.
It says to use the stock 915 flywheel and resurface it to get rid of the groove.
It also says to use there proprietary throw out bearing.
It also states that you need to remove the washer under the throw out bearing fork pivot.
I also agree with the previous posts that this does not make sense.
If you are not disengaging the clutch all the way you usually need to add washers under the pivot to get the desired travel without hitting the trans opening on either side.
I wish I had time to work on mine before the WCC.
I will also use the info from lylegd when I get a chance and try to trouble shoot it.
I had a local shop resurface the flywheel to get rid of the groove.
They might of shaved to much off which could also cause this problem.

regards,

Steve
