Yes. After the first big burp, I add a gallon, then there is a small burp on the second try.

What kind of tubing did everyone use to connect the brake/ clutch reservoir to the clutch master cylinder and the brake booster? I bought reinforced rubber fuel line but I dint think that will stand up to the brake fluid or pressure.

Hose needs to be brake line hose specifically, otherwise it will eventually leak through.

 

[Ark :D]

The kit comes with a length of nylon tubing that is suitable for this. I ended up having to buy more from Amazon though because I was a little overzealous when I made my fuel tank breather.

I started with the supplied nylon lines and barbed brass fittings for the connection from the remote reservoir to the master cylinder, but had incessant brake fluid leaks at the reservoir side at the connection between the nylon and brass. No problems since replacing with braided stainless -4AN lines and NPT to -4AN fittings though. I also used Permatex high temperature thread sealant on the NPT sides of the fittings.

The brake fluid re-supply line from the reservoir isn't under pressure when you use the brakes.
It only draws fluid if the brake or clutch system loose fluid, so it is more of a vacuum line than a pressure line.

Gotcha so I'm gonna use the vacuum line provided by DF per Adam's recommendation. Now the rubber line for the clutch is still an issue. Any thoughts on that line?

 

[Ross]

I used the DF vacuum line on the clutch too. It got bumped at some point and bent the nipple coming out of the reservoir, so I plugged that weak nipple with epoxy, and plumbed it differently. Works great.

 

[SmsDetroit]

So you take the reservoir top off and just warm the engine and rev to 5k??!

While also unbolting there reservoir and holding it higher than the engine. Air will always want to travel to the highest point in the cooling system. Be careful when the car comes up to temp if you have the cap removed

First off HUGE Thank you to Ark! Man those sub frame bolts were such a help! Second. Got the sub frame in "permanently" and torqued down. That front solid trans mount is a SOB! But with enough loosening of the engine and other mounting points we were able to get that to line up. Also swapped the fuel lines I had installed for the brake reservoir and replaced with the vacuum lines per everyone's recommendation. Car is really starting to take shape.

Any time, friend.

I can't find any info on which cable goes where for the shifter. If I'm sitting in the driver seat the driver side cable goes to which post on the trans?

Manual shifter installation and adjustment

Step one Install your tunnel cover. Step two Install your shifter cable bracket Step three Identify one of the cables on both ends with a sharpie mark or piece of tape. Route your two shifter cables along the tunnel and through the opening in the firewall. The cables need to be positioned...
