I finally got around to replacing the bushing in my pedal cluster and the accelerator cable with a nice Terry unit. My car only has 68,000 miles on it and 4 of the bushing were just completely shot. Also changed the tranny oil.

On a side note, when I removed the pedal cluster, I was happy to see nice red paint and no signs of any rust.

A quick tip if you are doing this: remove the clutch cable pulley at the tranny first. This will give you plenty of slack when reattaching the end of the cable to the pedal cluster.

Finished bleeding my brakes with nice and firm pedal, disconnected pressure bleeder, cleaned up, pressed on brakes one last time, and pedal went to the floor (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) I'll try it again in a few days!

With my project car I finished removing the front suspension and got it up on the rotisserie. I'm in over my head, but I'm having fun.

Today I said goodbye to my friend. My V8 conversion left for Arizona to a new owner. I built her in just 6 months and let her go to roam the desert. However, I am in the market for a new roller and I want to do another V8 Conversion.

So long my friend... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/bye1.gif)

Still plenty to do but this was a huge hurdle I was worried about for a long time. Got kinda sketchy when my floor jack started leaking while I was under the car trying to man handle it into position. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif)

Garold,

Start a project thread on the red Levitating project if you haven't already. I would love to see what you have in store.

Being that you put a 3.0 in your past race car I can only guess what mad creation you plan on bringing to life next.

Good Luck,

Pete
