Hello all,
So I have a '74 FJ40 I am installing a 350/SM420 into and have run into the clutch engagement/disengagement problems that have plagued many trying to use the stock Toyota hydraulics. My question is this: are any of you running a hydraulic throwout bearing on your setup? In the little research I've done, with the right throwout, you could gain enough stroke to allow you to use a stock Chevy clutch.
I also have read you can use a single stage brake master from a '70 or earlier rig, but I may run into potential over extension of the slave with the excess fluid.
Keep in mind I'm obviously not a purist and I am looking for the most reliable setup.
Thanks,
Ian
