Ok, got the adjustable pushrod in yesterday and got it installed. still had the clunking problem, it ended up being the cap that goes onto the master cylinder that the pushrod passes through, I'm thinking to keep it in place, well there are reliefs on the top and bottom for the pushrod to easily move through at angles, but I had the reliefs going side to side, which didn't allow the pushrod to get the angle it needed. I finally removed the boot that was covering it to figure it out. I can't believe I took that damn thing off about 6 times, and each time I put it on the wrong way. Doesn anyone even know what that cap is called?

anyway, got that fixed FINALLY, and got the master cylinder bled. I'm now waiting for a friend to come over and help me bleed all four corners.

on a side note, I will be working diligently tonight and tomorrow replacing the plenum pan and gasket on the 5.9 in my Ram. so no firebird work this weekend.
