''I'm going to fix it up someday'' The resurrection of a '74 Dart Sport......

I have about 450 miles on the new clutch as of this posting, and i will say it works well now that it's almost broken in.
It was installed on May 20th, 2015 and it is now September 9th 2015.

At first, i'll be honest, i didn't like the feel of the new clutch.
It was STIFF to push in and you had to push it 1/2'' from the floor to get it to fully release, even with the pedal free play at about 1/2'' from the top.
Engaging the clutch was easy, it grabbed nice and smoothly, as well as it was very forgiving. It did not lurch, chatter, or make any noises at all. The clutch worked so well, the car felt like it had 3:91s in it instead of 3:55s, it was that easy to drive.
As of now, the effort to push it in has decreased to the point of being as easy to push in the pedal as it is to let it out. I followed the instructions to a ''t'' on the installation pamphlet in the box. I no longer have to push the clutch to the floor to fully disengage it either. All of the linkage was inspected and lubed at the time of installation. The over center spring was removed before i even started the car for the first time. The factory clutch fork spring is still in place and it's light enough to let the fork move easily, but it keeps the release bearing off the pressure plate fingers. I called a Centerforce tech and they said it will work good after it breaks in for about 500 miles of in town driving with no burn outs or putting a lot of stress on the new clutch. I tend to think they were right in my experience so far.
Funny thing is, the same was true for the Pennzoil Syncromesh oil in the tranny.
I hated it to start with, it shifted hard until i got it warmed up to full operating temp. and then it still was not great to shift the car.
Now, it shifts great right away even when cold.
From what i've read, it takes awhile before it works it's way fully into the syncros etc.
Final conclusion:
Now that it's all working well, i am very pleased with the set up.
It had me worried for about a month there though........
Thanks for reading, and if you have any questions, feel free to ask!
