Progress Update...1 step forward, and 2 steps back.

Well, I recieved the 2nd master cylinder bracket from ECI last Thursday. Tried it out on Friday, and it did not fit. Not even close! So after much measuring, thinking, calculating, Tabb & I decided it would not work, and even if we cut up the bracket, we still might not be able to make it work. I called Bubba, and he told me I should call Tom Culbertson, which I did. He says he thinks he can make it work, so that maybe what I have to do. I called ECI Friday and told them it didnt work, and they said to take pics, or make a template and they would seee what they can do. I took pics:

So 1st thing this morning I sent them an email explaining what was wrong and why it doesnt fit to the best of my ability. About an hour later I got a call from the owner of ECI. We talked it over, he looked at the pics, and I think he understands. He said if I can put the original back on, and get a pic of it, he could make something that would work. So, that is what I am going to try and do. We will give them 1 more chance, then it will be off to Tom.

We also decided that we still need to move forward and make progress. So I talked to the exhaust guy and I am going to try and get it to them on Friday to get all the exhaust ran, so that is done. Once that is taken care of, it is off to Bubba's to install the intake and ignition and make er' run!

Wednesday night I will be rebuilding the new(old) Mallory distributor, just to clean it up a little.

We are getting closer....very slowly. Stay Tuned!!!!!
