    Clutch adjustment help please!

    Clutch adjustment help please!

    I have a hard time putting it in gear. Reverse is the worst offender and going through the gears isn't much fun. I know how to float the gears but this tranny is not set up for it. It started about 3 months ago and has getting worse incrementaly. Plenty of brake fluid in the master cylinder. I...

    I think I messed up!

    today my '89 decided it would not start. I thought the ignition switch was bad. Replaced it.... now I can't turn the key far enough to start. I do have the actuator rod properly placed in the switch but I think the actuator rod that runs from the key cylinder to the switch has come dismounted...

    Vacuum pump question

    i used a vacuum gauge to measure my 89 7.3 n/a pump. Turns out it topped (bottomed) out at 22" of vacuum. Is this sufficient for this unit? The reason I ask is because I can get 2 good stops on my brakes before it starts to get difficult to depress the brake pedal again. New master...
