I would say anyone that would be interested in this car will have already seen it for sale on the various platforms.  My thought is, unless it is auctioned at no reserve, it will be going home with him.  Or, there are at least two bidders that have consumed several adult beverages and say "what the heck" and buy the car.

I have a spring, PM sent.

I might have one, will not be able to check until this afternoon.

Congratulations!  Hope you have many years of fun driving.

Enjoyed the video, thanks for posting.

Based on the comments, I do see a stop so the pedal doesn't come up beyond a certain point but don't remember a stop being on the assembly to keep it from going down too far? The functionality of the clutch itself seemed fine just the pedal overextending the main return spring was the issue. The sleeves the pedal shafts go through are fine no extra play. The clutch in there was a kit that included the throw-out bearing and it's a new Zoom one and a diaphragm type.  I'll post an update when I get the new z-bar in - in a way I'm hoping mine was bent and this will solve it 

I guess I was a bit confused about the "overextending".  My pedal goes to the floor and returns just a little higher than the brake pedal.  I thought your overextending was the pedal returning too high.

Very nice, thanks!

Is the pedal stop adjusted properly and did you inspect the support bracket bushings for wear?

Nice looking tire, have a blast!

Dave, they look great.

While we are on the topic, do I need any kind of lube on the seal prior to pulling the rope from around the outside? Dish soap or silicone spray or anything like that?
   Thanks, Pete. 

NPD sells an Automotive Bedding and Glazing Compound that will create a seal between the gasket and windshield frame.  Have not needed to use any lubricant as the new gasket seems to slip over the edge with no problem.  The only areas that may cause a problem are the corners.  Sometimes it is hard to get the gasket to go around them.  Also, usually, pull the rope around the inside, with a person gently hitting the windshield as the rope is pulled, helping it seat.

Putting the clips in first gives you the option of checking proper seating and fitment.  Also, if one of the studs decides to break, you do not have to remove the windshield to repair.  I can be a nasty job if you have used sealant prior to installation.  Not to mention wasting a seal or windshield damage.  Just my two cents.

I saw this auction today.  Scam or typo?  Not sure which.

Thank You
Looking through the NPD and VCM catalogues they have listings for the 66 350 but the photos online and what I received were the single diameter spring. I'll reuse my old springs.

Dave, that is what I have done as well.

Can't recall what the specific clearance issue was with mine, but I assume it was the front carb.  It was a long time ago that I tried to install it.  I recall it was close but was not going to fit with the original holes, and I did not want to get into drilling new ones.  My Holleys are the List 3360 / 3361's.  Perhaps yours are different carbs and have different dimensions?     

If your car is a 1966, the straight bar may not fit because of the engine orientation in the compartment.  On a 1966. the bar slips behind the distributor and on a 1967/1968, in passes over the distributor top.  What brand of carbs are you using?
