I'm here, a tad later than planned, but I'm here.
The clevis end was cracked on the clutch cable. Which allowed the pin to pull out of the hole and that's why no clutch. What do you think my chances of finding that part here if no one stocked a clutch cable? When I tryed to straighten it, it broke compleatly. My buddys daughter says she knows someone with a welder and off we went. The guy had a compleat welding shop at home. He tiged the piece back together, except he built the edge up and I couldn't get the cable all the way adjusted as before. So I had to readjust it underneath. And off I went....... Roaring down the road...........I got as far as the outskirts of town and the car died. No power. Good thing the car died on a grade so I was able to let it roll back down the hill 1/2 a mile on the shoulder to the closest business to call my buddys son-in-law to come help. New battery from Walmart and off again. Drove to Sicamous and got a room. Got up and drove to just East of Golden, BC where the car died again. Turns out the alternator got fryed in the fire also. The plastic insulator on the alternator melted. My car sure likes tow trucks.......
