I loosened up the pressure plate bolts to a point were the clutch will move about a 1/16 of a inching any direction. I slid the transaxle back in and pop! it slid in!


Thanks for that suggestion


I now know it fits

So any suggestions on how to remove it without changing the position, allowing me to tighten all the pressure plate bolts up ?

I tightened a few bolts on the pressure plate, then retested, removed transaxle. Tightened everything to spec and it popped in !


Thanks for your help

Thanks

It's a crossram manifold on a 327 Corvette engine using a Holley EFI CPU, Scintilla magneto is actually a MSD unit, because I had a width problem on the manifold. Real Magneto's and EFI don't get along well.

My build is retro and shares no body parts with the Ultima.

Dave Ehrlich of Autotrend USA built the unit. If you want a custom EFI unit he is one of the best technicians in the business with over twenty years experience in EFI.
