[NoVa-Corvairs] Fwd: backup plan for the Ultra Van next month meeting

[A.L. CRAMP]

One power glide piece not mentioned.  The FC auto and the 140 auto had a govenor/bell crank , the piece on the side.  That was designed to let the unit wind out more rpm before shifting with the same vacuum.   That and the cooler on the FC. I think the Ultravan also had the cooler.  I have a parts 64 with that shift.  Might have one other.   But Mable's set up can not be much crazier than the electric/vacuum unit used on the Cords in the mid thirties and later on thevTucker.   The Select Shift.

Thinking that maybe I'm biting off more than I can chew with thinking we can change to powerglide next month...

Wondering if it might make more sense, for now, to sort out the current shifter and clutch situation, so that Mabel is able to be driven, and then explore more about the PG in the future.  This weekend Bob came over and bled the clutch- it's a little better but still an engineering disaster.  Looks like an old truck clutch pedal adapted to fit in the ultra van.  It barely engages and to do so, you really have to stomp down on it, as the plywood floor shifts.  And that is a undesirable thing to have to do, as the ultra van is challenging enough to maneuver without that added stress.

Today I moved it outside and turned it around and moved it back inside.  It runs. the dash 4speed shifter sucks.

I'm wondering, maybe I can use a more modern clutch pedal assembly work?

Maybe I can do away with the shifter/cable system and just adapt an FC floor shifter and stick with the manual for the time being?

I've attached a couple of pictures of what people have sent me with their manual trans. set ups, and below is a link to what I'm wondering for the clutch pedal assembly.  Any thoughts?
