$25.00 in fuel and fresh oil and a trust flat screwdriver as the column is all bound up.

Fill the mc if empty and pump the clutch, if your foot gets wet its the master, if your tranny leaks its slave

 

Well I tinkered on the Ranch Manche today,.. checked cold start (AOK!) swapped on a good Tail gate that opened so I could toss a Chrysler 8.25 and D30 into the bed from the 88 DD and my neighbor and I were playing with the clutch pedal. With the cap on you could hear air loss, so he pulled the cap and a few bubbles came out of the reservoir,.. Now we have some pedal pressure but it escapes,... the pedal is low as well, but I did manage to move forward and backward a few times (WHOOT). So it may be air in the line or it there is a leak somewhere, but no visible leaks so far,..

 

Oh and no power to the A/C or heater motor,... turn the knob and nothing; nada; zilch,.. another day,..

 

and the E-brake and part time light are stuck on,.. again ,... another day
