Yes I did, it was fine, the car only had 50k on it when I started this
project. The arm does move about 3/8" before the slack gets out of it.
That's why I moved the slave in some to take up that slack. I just don't
have the hard firmness I need to operate the pressure plate.
How hard is it to get all the air out of the loop on the line ?
I have used a vacuum pump to bleed the system as well as the old tried and
true way.

Craig- did you check the Throw-out arm pivot bushes in the bell housing?- I
know when we went through the clutch, etc. on our 1300, I found them very
worn out, and when I ordered a set from TRF(?)- They said they hadn't sold a
set in many years. They install very easily once the throw-out arm is out.If
your pivot pin is something other than just a pin with a full radius on the
end, it isn't standard.
just a thought -doesn't mean I'm right
