Build thread- 73 duster, forged 5.7 w/ PS and AC, 5 spd, big brakes and floater rear

I just drove the car around a bit. Waited until I could barely get the car in reverse, and then parked it. I'll let it completely cool, and then start it up and see if the clutch is 'better'. If it's better, then it's a heat problem. If it's not, then it's an air problem. Ya'll agree with this method? I'll let ya'll know what I find out.

Also, the steering coupler was still leaking on the header and smoking up a storm. I pulled the cap, and I couldn't see any grease in it anymore (though a good bit had run down the side of it, on the header, and the torsion bar). Not sure what I'm going to do about that yet. My first idea is to just keep driving it and see if it stops anytime soon now that there isn't any grease left to drip (or so I think there isn't). Maybe I'll cut out the rubber gasket to rule that out. I guess I could go to a u-joint, but I know E-berg doesn't like that because it takes out the fore-aft play that our steering columns need. Any thoughts on this?

Oh, and it seems I have a rear main seal leak :(
