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 |

My engine had a noise. Turns out it was the alternator. Start it with the belt off just to rule it out. Also when you get the belt off grab the alt pulley and see if it will move in and out. Not gonna be your back fire prob but it can make a valve type metal to metal click.

Not gonna be your back fire prob but it can make a valve type metal to metal click. Alternator was rebuilt before going back in car. So, probably not the problem but I welcome any ideas and will check. Pretty certain it is valve related. Today I am going to borrow a Noid light set. Since I know there is spark this will let me confirm / rule out fuel. At one point I was wondering if fuel had gone bad but if that were the case, pulling injector wire would produce consistent result on all cylinders, not just the two. |
