A big milestone, engine and tranny are back in car. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) Thanks to all who have helped me get this far.
I have reconnected clutch cable before anything else as I want to make sure this whole thing with the arm is correct. I now have 3/4 -1" play when pulling pedal up. I think there is still enough slack in cable that excess pressure is not on TOB. When pedal fully depressed to floor there is about 3/8" (rough measure) remaining before arm would hit the trans case. Here is pic of cable end. Does everything sound like it is within spec? Thx |

The answer to this seems obvious but since the repercussion of getting it wrong is high I will ask the stupid question. The bunch of red wires that attaches to the battery terminal. That does go on the positive terminal, correct? Do yourself a favor and fuse those unfused circuits. Project is looking good. I like your "other" cars website, too. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) What do you recommend? In line fuse on each wire, something else. What amperage are they and where do they lead to? Thx IIRC, 2 go to the cabin and 2 go to the relay box. The larger 2 wires get 25A and the smaller 2 wire get 20A fuses. Sorry for the late reply. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) So close... What other cars website? I thought it was in his signature but guess not, Rich. He has a site for his AmphiCar. The first time I saw one of these was in Austin, Tx at the LAI boat launch. I was around 10 years old then and people were much more naïve. We had just launched and I had just returned from parking the car and trailer (I know, 10 yo but that was TX back then). Anyway this guy comes down the ramp and into the water with a splash like his avatar. I thought to myself, coooool. But the old timers on the dock began to shit in their shoes. One guy ran up the hill and came back with his car and a rope about 5 min's later. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) My Dad pulled alongside in our boat and thru him a line and life jackets. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/av-943.gif) I'm pretty sure one old geezer swallowed his cigar because I never saw it again after the splash. It was a true Candid Camera moment. About 60 seconds after splash down everyone realized that they had been had but it sure was exciting at first! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) |
