Im pretty sure that Al was referring to........ just previous the start of the video  The clutch engages around 6 thou.......and when it did.....My hands came off the grips.......I think I may need the aid of some Velcro  ...........She sure ain't purdy But......... she's all about Getty up and go  |

We have no way of telling that engagement  Its high but that still is to be determined with tack  I would guess between 4and 5 Its enough to keep Dave on his toes ;D |

We will soon see if it stays together on a run down the field . Does anyone remember from the old days how I got that old clutch to engage higher? Lets hear what you think. |

Al: You can put shim washers behind the spring, each 1/16" washer will raise the engagement about 250rpm's, just watch out for the spring bottoming out, it can break if it does. Otherwise you need a stiffer spring, you see them around all the time. It will also delay shifting out sa little, giving the engine a chance to rev up more before it shifts out. Wig
