Did
you ever change a clutch disk in a car and then after drive-shafts and all
was back together the pedal didn't go in all the way in and the clutch didn't
disengage?
Taking
it all apart again and measuring the new clutch disk thickness to no avail and
re-assembling it --- same problem, pedal moves half way and hits
stop.
going
down the list of options I eventually checked what pedal I had my foot on, well
I did only sit in the car with one but cheek - I had pressed twice in a row the
brake pedal - so call me anytime you need some fine technical advise
;-)

Rounding up the missing horses, and my dunce cap
Greetings,
The grand prize may go to
Bruce Turrentine, with points to Tracy also. I called Bruce today, and
the first comment out of his mouth was "are you sure you aren't way retarded
on your timing". Well, I didn't think so, but after careful measurement,
I found that my original measurement wasn't so careful.
Remember that during my
first runs, I though the timing was retarded, and manually advanced it
some. The engine seemed to run better, but after discussing this some,
and believing that I had set it correctly statically, I set it back and forgot
about it. Well, my static mark was 10 degrees off. That means I've
been running about 12 degrees BTDC, rather than the normal 22.
Think this will make a difference? Yep, me too.
I ran the engine briefly,
and found that everything has changed, and I'll have to re-tune the whole
thing. I haven't thought about it enough to explain it, but now I'm way
rich over the range that I can run without being tied down (about 20 inches
MAP). The mixture knob is close to fully CCW now. I never
understood how I could run Tracy's parameters and have the correct mixture,
when my injectors were so much larger. Now if it will just
reduce the boost at full throttle :-)
Rusty (I'm a
dumbass)
