I finished assembling a pressure bleeder & bled the clutch again and it worked great. I have a pedal now, and the clutch fork has a lot more travel.
I still have the other issue I'm working on: the transmission acts like it's detached from the engine.
Thanks Mark!
It cost about $30 max to build the pressure bleeder:

Rich, Have you had the transmission seperated from the engine at any point?

Okay, that's good. I was worried that something might be going on with the clutch fork or throwout bearing. Since it was running and driving back when it was in Alabama, I can't imagine that the clutch itself went bad from sitting.

-I need to fix some wiring and found the links to the popular wire suppliers, but wondering what type of wire it is [that I need to order.] Is it "thin-walled PVC?"

I like to get 300 volt PVC wire for my car work. The thinner walled wire makes it more flexible and smaller cable bundles.

What are the options for a fuel sender replacement? Mine is physically broken.

There's DMCH's combo unit, but if your fuel pump is fine it's kind of a waste of money to replace it just so you can get a level sender.
Hervey has some crossover SS sender from a Yugo or god knows where, it apparently works for the gauge but does not have a switch for the low fuel light.
I've heard of some people rebuilding their broken original senders by re-wrapping new wire. I guess it depends on how yours is broken.
I've got a Tankzilla sending unit installed that came with my car when I bought it, but those have been out of production for close to a decade now.
Maybe Josh at DPI has some other solution that he uses on his cars?
