I bought my old 93 Z28 back, now it needs some TLC

Why couldn't you use two bolts for the master? That's what I did for my third gen swap...am I missing something with the 4th gen?

Maybe im just going by the write up. Trying to get as many parts as the suggest so I can follow step by step.

I've got a knob you can borrow if you're passing by.

Thanks Jim, I may hit you up on the offer or just order the c6.

Im willing to meet you part way on the upper console piece, but I am out of town until Monday!

No problem Joel. Just let me know when's good for you next week.

I got everything loaded in the back of the fusion and got the tool box and trans on the trailer.
I think have eveything I need. I hope this goes smoothly.

I hope to have as much out as possible by tomorrow night then Saturday can be an entire day of assembly.

[mcalus]

Trans, ds, ta, steering column are all out. Good progress for today.

Good progress. Why did you take the steering column out?

To get the pedal assembly out and install the master

[mcalus]

Does the master point up or does it need to be flipped 180 degrees and be pointed down?

[Lucky SOB]

Im pretty sure it goes how you have it

How long are stock flywheel bolts? My flex plate bolts seem to be really short, the flywheel is much thicker than the flex plate. The write up uses stock bolts? [MENTION=519]1BADAIR[/MENTION]

[mcalus]

Rockauto says the bolt should be almost an inch long.
mine are like .650......
looks like I'm done for the night. Hopefully I can find some local in the morning. :/
