I used the stock dodge slave and then used a master out of a early 90's chevy truck and my pedels are 73-87 stockers with also the help of a early 90's chevy truck pedal and the rod I used for the master was a valve push rod out of a big block chevy with the help of a rod end ( hiem joint) so I could adjust my pedal oh and my clutch line is A fittings I had to tig weld two fittings together for the slave cause I couldn't find what I needed hope this helps

Go with a different master cylinder though cause the chevy one isn't enough though I read some where that I should of gone with one from a international or something like that cause it was bigger cause mine is just a little under powered and makes it a little hard at times to put in gear so I will be changing this out ASAP cause I don't like it and I need traction bars bad this thing has alot of power I love it ha ha

The clutch master cylinder that need to go with is from a 85 land cruzer so that's next on my list after I get new tires this weekend I just bought 2 1/2 " wheel spacers tonight but didn't have enough time to put them on that's for tomorrow

i'd rather post it on vimeo

in my experience, youtube has started to lag... and vimeo has "better bandwidth"... due to fewer using vimeo

Dang!! I just grabbed one from an early 90's chevy at the scrap yard to mock in, good thing I didn't have time to start cutting!!! It's weird that the chevy one isn't enough, the chevy and dodge both use the nv4500, and from what I understand the nv and getrag use the same hydraulic setup... I could be wrong. Are you using the stock clutch?? I hear if you use a clutch with a higher hp rating (like southbend or something) you can get a upgraded hydraulic system for easier pedal......anyways thanks for the heads up!!

well with the chevy master it seems like its a little hard to get into gear at times so im changing it out soon cause there is nothing worse then trying to put it in all five gears to find a gear to get in just so u can get it in second to leave a green light besides i thing the land cruzer one should still go in the same only thing that sucks for me is to have to go buy another master and make my clutch line again but i guess it cant be perfect the first time
