With the tear drop bump in the bearing facing down, as the clutch fork rotated up, the bearing would bottom out in the bottom of the fork.
Look at Datsun Z and pickup 5/8" master on Rockauto.
Did you fix your clutch issue?
When cold starting after long periods of down time I always had to pump the gas pedal a couple of times prior to engaging the starter.... fyi you have done beautiful work.What’s the acceptable fuel pump pressure for a stock Motorcraft 2100 carb? Getting very close to starting the motor on this project. Turned on the key yesterday, the fuel pump kicked on, and shortly thereafter fuel starts flowing out the top of the carb. It’s been sitting for 3 years, so I figured maybe the float valve was stuck open. Pulled off the top of the carb, removed the float and needle valve, checked everything out and put it back together. Turned on the key and the same thing happens. I installed a new fuel pump during the restoration, so figured maybe it’s cranking out too much pressure, but a pressure gauge shows only 5.5psi. From what I can find online, that shouldn’t be too much, but who knows. For the time being, I decided to tweak the float level, which stopped the overflow situation for now, but might cause issues later on down the road.
Here you go. Couldn’t tell you anything about this water pump, as it was part of the package from the get go. I was told the motor is out of a 78 Mutt II. The back end of the motor mounts are pushed up against the back side of the cross member, which actually positioned everything back at least an inch from where the motor sat with the motor mounts that were in place when I purchased the car.Andy, Can you post some PIC's of your water pump where the fan bolts up?
How about some PIC's of the engine mounts and their location on the crossmember?
Can't understand why such lack of clearance between the fan and he radiator.....
