The Nissan slave is bled and seems to look about right, concerning travel and ratio (I prefer to not have much pedal travel), The front wheels are off the truck for today and tomorrow- I am taking them to be balanced in the morning... the passenger side wheel has either a bent rim or the tire has had a belt slip, as it causes the truck to have a major death wobble at any speed over around 20 miles per hour. The driver's wheel/tire look perfectly fine going down the road, as we've been making small test runs without front fenders or any running boards on the truck. After the wheels get reinstalled, I will test the clutch setup out. I'm utilizing a stock 1965 Dodge D500 master cylinder, which is pretty much what everyone has been using, I assume. The slave was for a 1987 Nissan B21 or the like, and I got it at O'Reilly Auto Parts here in town for $13. It took an Endelman adapter fitting, drilling out the mounting holes to 7/16", cutting the end off a spare PTO lever to make the bracket (I used the stock bottom hole for the bottom slave cylinder hole, then had to drill a hole/tap it to 7/16-14 for the slave cylinder's top bolt), and enlarging the new slave's boot to fit the original slave cylinder's adjustable pushrod.... less than an hour's work, total. I'll be amazed if it works, honestly.
