Been a while since I posted an update!
Ran into a bit of a issue as I started throwing parts back on the car... I forgot to install the pivot for the clutch fork before mating the transmission to the engine and putting it back in the car. Idiot!
I tried for a LONG time to figure out a way to get it in there and torque it down with everything installed in the car but finally realized it would be best just to take everything back out and do it right... so down came the transmission so I could get it in there correctly!
The good news is I have now can get my transmission dropped pretty quickly!
OK back on track now...
For my booster and master cylinder, I have decided to upgrade to 4th gen Camaro pieces, both which I got from AC Delco. I could have used my 3rd gen booster with the newer 4th gen master cylinder, but coming from an automotive engineering background, I know how much work goes into making these parts work together and wanted to swap them in as a unit. I'm going to be plumbing in a Wilwood proportioning valve as well.
I mocked everything up and it fit well but I wasn't quite happy with the grey color of the booster. So, off it all comes again so I can scuff up and paint a brand new booster! I think the black looks much better though.
Next I added a new steering wheel to my steering column and got that ready for installation. First time using a steering wheel puller and it worked like a charm:
The "new" wheel (actually was given to me with the car) is a little smaller and MUCH thicker than the stock one which I like:
Hoping to keep the parts flying on the car to get it ready for spring!
