Had that one on my old 40. Didn't mind it. Does yours run hot as well?

Need some help on this one,
There is no slave bracket with this truck. The previous setup had some weird system of spacers on the bell housing mount. I need to order a new slave here soon. It's a 78 bellhousing, do I need to order a slave for that year of bellousing and the bracketry for it, then?
You should be able to use the original 3-speed bellhousing mount that has the holes for the slave cylinder on the driver’s side. I think I have a few of them if yours got lost. Also have slave cylinders in stock.

Oh Mylanta! That headliner was filthy!!!Never have I ever scrubbed a headliner. At least it smells like clean laundry now instead of old funk.
Pivot ball, speedo cable, and oil lines came in and installed. Waiting on some other vanity stuff.

As our esteemed colleague @bobm would say, "WTF, WTF, WTF?!?"Took a crack at cleaning up the manifolds. Got super lucky and came away with no broken bolts or nuts. The long manifold clamping bolt almost got me but enough heat, lube, patience, and impact guns got it. Found some more PO surprises though. Any guesses what these welds are supposed to be doing? Not much I suppose. Either way,.might be going header sooner rather than later - MIGHT.

If I may be so bold...Any recommendations?
Quite the collector...
Truly amazing what some owners do to their vehicles, those were some good finds.
