ADJUSTMENTS
"Permantly" install all the clutch components onto the
flywheel, using an alignment tool for the driven disc.
Install the bell housing. Place a straight-edge across the
bell housing opening to measure the height of the fingers
below the opening. Make sure that the cylinder piston is
pushed all the way into the housing.
Adjust the height of the bearing on the transmission by
screwing the threaded adjusting sleeve in or out of the
slave cylinder so that when the transmission is installed,
there will be the indicated clearance.
After the transmission is installed permantly, recheck the
clearance and connect the pressure hose to the clutch
master cylinder.
Attach the bleed hose to the bellhousing flange at a
conveniently accessible location.
OIL PAN:
There are several aftermarket pans and OEM Ford designs
listed on page 24. If the pan does not have a oil
temperature bung, weld the oil temperature adapter fitting
(packed with the auxiliary instrument pieces) onto the left
side.
With a Ford small block, keep the full-length pan depth
less than 8.3" to prevent the pan from hanging below the
chassis. If your pan kicks up in the back, you can go to
8.7" depth.
STARTER
Any standard or aftermarket starter may be used. Note
that some gear-drive starters may have to be rotated on
their mounting flange. See the wiring instructions for
hookup changes.
THERMOSTAT
We recommend that you drill 3/16” bleed hole in the
thermostat as shown below. This will allow a small
amount of water to pass all the time, plus facilitate air
bleeding. Install into the manifold with the hole up.
EXPANSION TANK (FE BLOCK)
Used
Ford tanks can be reversed so that the outlet exits on
the left side as shown. Unfortunately, our experience has
shown that most original tanks (20+ years old by now)
have corrosion and fatigue problems, even after close
scrutiny and careful rebuilding. Fortunately,
new
expansion tanks
are now available from E.R.A.
If you don't wish to do this job yourself any radiator shop
can handle it
