72 Dart Swinger 3.6L Pentastar +T5
Got the Clutch Master cylinder installed just need a reservoir and figure out how long a line i need to the trans.
It came from a 2001 Dakota($35). It has a .708" bore and ~1.25" stroke.
This one has an aftermarket Aluminum housing but Stock and most other aftermarkets are plastic.
I had to gently message the inner fend for a little extra clearance but it possible the plastic versions may not have to.
Besides drilling two mounting holes and a little clearance of the firewall, it went in no problem.
I went with this brand mainly because it included an all steel push rod when most other plastic MC used an overmolded plastic push rod.
I knew I would be doing a little cutting/weld on the push rod to add an easy way to adjust its length, so plastic was out.
Here's the push rod after I added a 3/8 adjuster to it. I added the adjuster to be sure I could adjust the pedal height when its all together.
Just a couple steel sleeves from the farm store. The hex sleeve is threaded.
Installed with a shoulder bolt and lock nut.
I think the original clutch pedal spring has to go. Its just not helpful
Earl's LS641001ERL adapts most modern clutch master cylinders to a 4AN.
I plan to use a RAM 78130 Hydraulic throwout bearing.
It includes an upgraded bearing retainer for the T5
I made a new model and drawing of the 3.6l flywheel to add the Ford Mustang pressure plate mounting holes.
Its at the machine shop now getting cut. Its supposed to be done this week.
