[FONT=Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Tahoma, Arial]<!-- google_ad_section_start -->1. Congrats on gettin' the car up and runnin!
2. Haynes Manuals are far from perfect but combined with this site... offer a good deal of insight. Get one offa eBay even if its for an 80. They run from 5 to 12 bucks.
3. Clutch bleeding is best done with a POWER bleeder from the reservoir... or with a vacuum bleeder at the slave cylinder. To do it manually with help... Loosen the flex line fitting AT THE slave cylinder and re-tighten. Have friend pump three times and hold down... while you loosen the fitting. DO this several times to bleed all the air outta the line.
RECHECK reservoir... then do the same thing again using the bleeder screw on the slave cylinder.
I know this sounds weird... but it was the only way I got all the air outta my line.
BTW, the throw of the slave cylinder should be about a full inch!
For your other needs... Give my friend Derrick a call at Giant Auto Wrecking in Newhall Ca. He ships UPS and his prices are more than fair, the call is free. 800-424-4677.
4. I'm sure there is at least one other owner in WV that could help you... check out:
http://americanx19.tripod.com/owner.htm
Ooooops... that's you! HA!
5. I dyed my vinyl door panels black and don't consider myself an idiot. Crazy maybe, but not an idiot. They look great! I plan on doing another set on my "new" car! I don't know how you could ruin them unless its simply the color you object to!
Good luck and...
Best Regards,
Tony Natoli
