Hi everyone. It has been awhile since I have posted. Since then I’ve made some progress. The engine now starts and idles smooth, it does rev very nice and as for acceleration it’s ok. I’ve got it running a bit rich from what I can tell but it doesn’t hesitate at all or feel like it wants die under WOT or sudden flooring it so I’ll keep it how it is. I’ve also done some more work to the brakes, I’ve bled them a bit more and they work well enough to lock up all four but the pedal still has to travel 3/4 the way to build any pressure. My main problem now is drivetrain. The noise is loud as ever and the clutch pedal is getting kinda stiff. I think that throw out bearing is on its way out the door very soon. So my question to you all is where can I find one, I have searched and searched and I cannot find a TO bearing for a 144 with a 8.5” clutch without buying a $200 clutch kit. And I don’t wanna spend $200 because I hope to in the near future to replace it with like a 200. And does anyone know a good place to find a 200. I’ve called the local yards and none of them have any. It’s just hard to buy online because it’s like $300 in shipping alone
