Soon to be a se7en owner

Cannot confirm, but my only cable clutch experience is motorcycles.  A well bled hydraulic should be nice and tight, th clutch circuit is very short and simple.  Depending on the car there shouldn't be much hose, and hopefully that is reinforced...

The continuing saga of the tires. Three of the four missing tires showed up last Thursday. Number four (Well actually #3 of 4) was to be delivered by 1:30 pm Saturday. It was delivered just before 2:00 pm today Monday April 1^st. So load up all five tires and head on down the road.

When we get to the shop the car is sitting outside and the pan is off it. It seems that what was left of gasket was not salvageable. It’s actually a sandwich with a gasket above and below a metal baffle plate. Ones on order but who knows wen it’ll get here. Other fixes included the electrical brake light switch and surprise, replacing the flasher relay seems to have fixed the turn signals issue.

The hard starting and ruff running may be linked to all the gunk in the carbs. When they tried to start the car after it sat all night gasoline literally ran out of the two velocity stacks nearest the firewall. The mechanic pulled the tops off and cleaned out “stuff”. I noticed that the cold start levers were present but not hooked up. I was afraid that my car had those incomplete carbs where none of the holes are drilled and each has a blanking plate installed. But all that is needed is to connect the two levers together, add a cable to activate the “Cold Start Circuit” and Bob’s Your Uncle!
