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 |

Hope to get back to it this weekend. I do think I capped everything but if timing is not off will try again.
Has anyone tried using smoke testing for plenum or other leaks, seems like that would work well. Pump some smoke in thru the throttle body and see where it escapes? |

Has anyone tried using smoke testing for plenum or other leaks, seems like that would work well. Pump some smoke in thru the throttle body and see where it escapes? Since the plenum is not under pressure (pushing air out) you wont see smoke escape. It is under vacuum and will suck extra air in. Not sure about the mentioned WD-40 trick unless it's the same as Carb cleaner. Spray cleaner aruond the vacuum hose connections and when the idle dips/stumbles, you have found a leak. possibly, one of several. |
