69 Notch Barracuda - Rebirth
Clutch fork rod alignment looking MUCH better now (no pic yet), but still wasn’t happy with the lack of clutch plate disengagement. Definitely wasn’t the .040-.060” I keep reading. Also.. very sloppy clutch pedal (bushings shot/gone.. C clip gone), so ordered a new bushing and clip kit from Brewers. Since my clutch pedal was about 1.5” short of lining up with my brake pedal, I Decided to also pull the clutch pedal to torque shaft rod to check for wear. The “holes” were completely rounded out... and, most importantly... the rod was about 3” shorter than the 14.25” Brewer said it should be! Seems like a previous owner just used what they had on-hand. The Z bar I pulled way back when also looked like a homemade jobber, so maybe the combo worked just fine at the time ;) So, I added a new rod to my Brewers order as well.
Also.. good to see my workbench again!
