Re: 61 GMC Project-Slow and steady

The hydraulic clutch works good, a little frustrating to get the slave cylinder dialed in, but it works just fine. One thing I recommend is to replace the flex hose that goes from the master to the slave cylinder ASAP. It runs between the engine and firewall and is normally always deteriorated. You can replace the MC and SC all day long and still have a pressure leak down problem, well, there is your culprit.

Points are easy to set-up, just not as reliable as electronic ignition. If you want to convert to electronic with little hassle buy a Pertronix electronic convserion kit, I think the PN is 1162A. It goes right into the factory distributor. I have yet to do this but will soon.

Good luck man....
