It was a stiff hose but Andy rerouted it so I’m not sure what’s there now.

Correct. I posted that one in error.

Yep, I installed the gears and associated parts, buttoned everything up and decided painting was for another life. Going to test drive it before installing the transmission so I have a drivetrain noise base line.

Yeah, there's probably no chance of that. With the transmission, driveline, and bellhousing out most of the underside will be exposed, and I'm going to replace the rear spring bushings, so not dropping the rear axle housing and painting the bottom of the car with red oxide seems like a wasted...

Does it work properly?

I think the Covid situation made people understand that they can work from home, and home can be anywhere, hence the exodus from the big cities. A small exodus started before Covid but it’s now out of control.

The car ran so well for me I didn’t touch any of the adjustments. I think idle is supposed to be 650 with the car in gear. Does the carb have a dashpot?

Does it die only at idle? Is it idling too slow? The belts squeal because they are loose. The PS pump was fine and should not wobble. Might Andy have installed a different one? Tighten the belt to see if the wobble stops.

Here are a couple more that are new to the registry. We added three cars this week.

I have no idea why I mentioned the rebuilt pedal assembly as it has nothing to do with a hydraulic clutch. It looks like the roller Z-bar company is no longer in business. That’s OK, the existing one works well and it is also refreshed. I’ll check out Colbert.
