[V8Vairs] hyd clutch

[Tim Barrie]

Sorry, my car is at the body shop so I can't get the measurements. 
I went with the 5/8 solely for pedal pressure.
I worked out the pivot points on paper first but to be sure I had adjustment
I drilled a bunch of holes in my pivot arm (about 6 inches long) off the
clutch pedal shaft. The Tilton master came with a recommended stroke. I
started there and just adjusted the pivot point on my push rod until the
Howe no longer disengaged the clutch.  Added a bit of stroke back and went
with that. 
To be honest I have only driven it a couple of hours since completing this.
I just wanted to get the alignment done and work out a few bugs before I
took it to the body shop. 
It is not the smoothest clutch that I have driven but with the torque of the
V8 you don't have to worry about stalling it.
Tim

..thanks,Tim--any chance you could measure the piston stroke and the
effective arm length to the rod clevis hole? The only issue I've heard of
with the Howe bearing is over-extending it (too much fluid from the
master),probably why you went with the 5/8" bore (Speedway notes using a
3/4")..We're picking up a bare 350 block and crank to set the clutch up
while the 327 is in surgery;taking along an 11" 4.3 clutch to compare,the
curved-tip fingers may be gentler on the Howe ...
