Anyone running a hydraulic clutch with their 833?
I run a hyd clutch on my 72 Dart s6/833od daily driver. My setup does contain ford parts though (they were free) so reader beware!
My clutch pedal is homemade but a stock pedal will work, some fabrication will be required either way to mount the pushrod for the master cyl. The pushrod is attached 2 3/8" from the pivot point of the pedal. The slave cyl mounting bracket will have to be fabricated but its nothing fancy. With my old tired clutch I could push the pedal to the floor with just my index finger but it was very worn and slipped pretty bad. I swapped in a generic parts store 10" lever style clutch but added 3 extra springs to it so its a little on the heavy side but I can push the pedal to the floor with my thumb.
Parts used:
Master cyl: 83-87 ford 3/4 ton pickup 0.88" bore
Slave cyl: 83-98 ford 3/4 ton pickup w/460ci or diesel 1.25" bore
hyd line: 83-87 ford f series pickup
These parts ^^^ can be bought at any parts store or online for about $100 for all three
