Hello, do you mean the slave cyl. or the master cyl.

Another question guys. I got the truck slave as Kim and others suggested so what line did you guys use from the master to the slave. as always thanks in advance.

Advance auto parts has brake lines already made up in lengths like 12", 18",24" etc that have the british connector on one end and japanese(metric) on the other. I had the dastun rubber flex hose and connected the line to it and then to the master cylinder.

Hey all! I installed a 210 trans a while ago and all went pretty good. The only problem I had was to bleed the slave. So this is what I did and it worked better than expected! I took a rubber stopper. (the ones for wine making that have a 1/4" hole in them" They come in various sizes to fit different wine bottles. I chose the one that would fit snugly into the fill reservoir of the clutch master. I stuffed my air gun from harbor freight into the hole and set the regulator on the air compressor to 5psi. I crawled under the car and cracked the bleeder and had the wife give it a little air via the trigger on the air gun. Done! no air in the line and didn't have to pump the peddle or nothing! I had to come up with this due to my wife and I not being coordinated with the down crack close up routine.
All thanks on the 210 install goes to Billm. I got the conversion kit from him. worked out pretty good. I made a few changes because I can't leave well enough alone! I kept the sprite ring gear and moved the starter location about 100 thousands. I noticed the Datsun starter and sprite starter had the same pitch gear. And meshed just super with the sprites ring gear so instead of modifying the flywheel gear i chose to move the starter. So far so good. It would have been easier to send my flywheel in and get it modified but I am a glutton for punishment. With the sprite starter gone I am getting ever closer to radicating my sprite of all that is Lucas! Sorry to all that like Lucas.

Glad to hear that it worked out well!
I will look at incorporating the starter move into the kit, will ease the job!
(This will be kind-of a "Linux" system with everyone giving input and improvements!)

Everyone pitching in the piece or bit that they care enough about to work on themselves.

Very popular thing out there in the software world, and this forum reminds me of that a lot. People giving their time and effort and their stuff to advance the cause (LBC's).

Need more HELP. for some strange reason I was looking at the Haynes manual and read that the flywheel has to go on a certain way. I think mine would only go on one way, its a 74 1275 engine. I have not mounted the tranny yet just the clutch so not that big a deal if I have to have a do over thanks.

I just had to look and verify but -yes- the flywheel can ONLY go on one way.
It has two dowels but they are offset in such a way that you can only do it correctly. If you got it on with both dowels showing and all four bolts in then you have it right. It is ALMOST impossible to do it wrong (but probably possible!!)

It is impossable to install it wrong.

Thanks guys, I was sure I had it right. I have got to stop reading these manuals LOL.
