Build thread- 73 duster, forged 5.7 w/ PS and AC, 5 spd, big brakes and floater rear
I just went out and cleaned up all the junction points on the hydraulic clutch lines (except where it connects to the slave cylinder). I then pumped the clutch sixty (60) times to see if any of the junction points generated any fluid. I didn't find anything. Maybe it is heat related?
The master is 3+ inches from the primaries. The line off the master is 2+ inches from the primaries. The line where it crosses above the exhaust is fairly close - ~1/2" with the heat shielding I put in place. The heat wrap is what I stole from the factory wiring harness.
None of the exhaust is coated or wrapped.
Heat wrap, doubled over the hydraulic line:
Heat wrap in place, clearance from mid-pipe:
