Hi!

     I'm new to this list and already need some help with my car. Any help
will be greatly appreciated.

     After rebuilding the engine on my 1978 Spitfire, I found that my
clutch no longer worked. I removed the clutch assembly, rebuilt and
cleaned it completely and put it back together ensuring that the pin goes
back to the piston, etc, etc. After bleeding them I tried it and it still
didn't work. I've tried several bleeding methods but cannot seem to find
one that works. My master cylinder is okay as I have had it recently
rebuilt. I've ruled out just about everything except the method of
bleeding I have been using and, god forbid, having put some vital clutch
part in wrong. If anyone wants to give a starving student some sound
advice, it would be greatly appreciated!

This car is my daily driver and I need it to get to SDSU for finals week.
I think I read a couple messages by San Diego Triumph club people, but not
sure. 

Thanks in advance!
