[QUOTE="Black Gold 380R, post: 16741379, member: 70025"] WOW! You guys really are too kind. [USER=159145]@ToddW702[/USER] it is funny how our builds have unintentionally aligned. It is also funny that as soon as you take your car out you see another one. I work a lot from home, but do go to the office 2 or 3 times a week. The other funny thing is I took a different route to work that day. So, it's almost like it was meant to be that I see that car. It did look old and worn out, but it sounded really healthy and when I drove by him I noticed he had some pretty nice gauges installed. So, he may have been going for the patina look. Yes sir, I have bled my hydraulic clutch. After I got it set up I did it the old school way. I was under the car and had my wife depress the clutch pedal. Then I would crack the bleeder valve. Did it this way until my wife said the pedal felt firm. Even though the car is not running right, when it was up in the air and I had it started I checked my clutch. I depressed the clutch and put it in gear. No problems. I slowly released the clutch pedal and it grabbed and my rear tires started to rotate. No leaks, no funny sounds, no grinding in the transmission, so it seems it's working fine. Will need to test drive it to know for sure though. [USER=39896]@Skitzerman[/USER] WOW!!!
