You may know this already but just in case.....If you're using a standard Ansen or similar peddle assembly, don't forget to swap out the internals in that master cylinder. The Chevy unit has the brake internals (which includes a residual valve) on the left and the clutch internals (without a residual valve) on the right side. You need the brake valving on the right side with an Ansen setup so you'll have to remove the "C" clips and swap the internals side to side. Its a simple 5 minute job. That said, replacements from NAPA have been known to come with residual valves in both sides and your clutch will not work correctly with a residual valve. Why Chevy reversed it in their linkage assembly I have no clue.Last edited by Rufus; 10-15-2009 at 04:58 PM.

Rear Window Installed
Today I finally finished installing the roll up rear rear window. This is the one thing that is different than the original coupe. The original coupe just a piece of plexiglass nailed to the wood during the filming of the movie and today there is nothing there. Well with this being said I thought that I should install the rear roll up window as to make it at least look 32 correct. Hope you enjoy the photos!

Just in case anyone wants a similar master cylinder but doesn't want to swap the innards side to side, International pickup trucks in the 60's used a very similar master cylinder and the brake and clutch ports are in the right place.
I'm using the Chevy one in my 27 but I flipped it around 180 degrees, so the clutch and brake are in the right ports. I'm sure some will say a single chamber master cylinder isn't safe, but I ran this one for 7 years and it was flawless. In fact I'm putting a new one from NAPA back in the rebuild I am doing on this car.

Oh come on now. We know it is purple. But it is a good cause. I saw a bumper sticker that even my wife liked - Save the Taa Taas.“Ability is what you're capable of doing. Motivation determines what you do. Attitude determines how well you do it”--Lou Holtz.

Welcome to CHR. I think that you need to hook up your vacuum advance. At part throttle when cruising you have less air and fuel in each cylinder, and the air-fuel mixture is not as densely packed...
