Ironmike, if you have pictures, can you please post them? I read the HOTROD article, seems easy enough. I'd like input or pictures from real world users like yourself! Thank you.I got the whole kit from American Powertrain 2 years ago. love it. Good riddance to all that friggin linkage B.S. Just be careful with your set up. I had to have them make me a shim that didn't come in the kit to get it perfect. Basically you want 150 thou air gap, at the initial assembly. Make that happen and you'll be golden.
I run that kit, American Powertrain, and had to have a spacer made from them also. Got the “air gap” needed, bled it, drive the snot out of it.
Trucks came with a master/slave style hydraulic clutch. My 87 Ram 100 had an A833 OD and hydro clutch. Not as nifty as a hydraulic TOB but much cheaper.There has GOT to be a "backyard budget" way to go about these..........
With the American Powertrain master cylinder, were you guys having interference issues with the inner fender apron?

I ordered this one, half the price of the American powertrain one and I'm sure it's the exact same thing, right down to the blue anodized spacer ring. You would just need to but a master cylinder but a wilwood master only runs 70-80 bucks so you still come out ahead. Havent used it yet but I'm about to install it next weekend.
