how much angle should my adjustment rod have? seems like mine to to sharp of an angle..

after i push the pedal in 4 or 5 time the rod falls off of the fork.. is my fork spring not stretched enough or do i just not have enough tension on the adjustment rod?

Have you tried to drive it? Sounds like you need to move the adjuster out to tighten it up. Once you have it driving you'll want to adjust it to how you want the clutch to feel.

Older picture ^

new fenders

and here she sits waiting for a rear drive shaft!

hah in my messy garage! needs to warm up so i can clean!

 

[Ne76K5]

i haven't got to drive her yet.. i need to get a 44" rear drive shaft made

I put a small spring holding the z-bar to the throwout lever (parrallel to the adjustment rod) on one once because it poped apart a couple times.

anybody know how big i should cut the hole in my hump?

i want it to be as clean as possible

 

[Ne76K5]

thanks! hopefully that will work!

Isn't there a punchout there? Otherwise just grab a floor pan out of a four speed model. I may have one. It's too bad I didn't know youy needed one, I am in Lincoln right now, and could have grabbed one.

[Ne76K5]

nope no punchout for it.. dont have any money right now anyways lol

i know i'm full of questions but this is my first 4 speed swap.. when i get my drive shaft made im going to need the slip joint correct?

You are correct. I just got one yesterday, granted mine was 61in and 4in tubing, but costed 360$ smaller tube will be cheaper. Another thing, make sure you get the right u-joints. The yolk in my 205 was a 1330 and my axle end was a 1350. I didn't catch that and ended up having to file the 1330 yolk to fit the 1350 u-joint I had. Somethin to keep in mind. Tricked by a free part I was.

Oh, I would have just given it to you.

That's how mine is. Never had a problem.

 

[Ne76K5]

how do i measure the yolks to know what size to get?

 

[82355]

How is the slip yoke on that drive shaft in the picture? Is that shaft too long or too short?

Martin

 

[Ne76K5]

the one in the picture is 37" and i need 44"

 

[454Sub]

Well, easy way to tell is stick that shaft in each yolk and if it fits, just have them extend the tube and put new same size u-joints in there. If its 10 bolts its 1310s, if its a 14bolt its a 1350, and if its a 12 bolt I believe they are 1330s.

I meant does the slip yoke feel tight when it's together, or does it have a lot of slop? If it's in good condition, it's relatively cheap to just have the shaft retubed.

oh.. it's tight needs greased but, it's in good condition.. know any places in Lincoln?
