Bernie replied back and said the 2241s will not clear the universal master without modifying the primary tube that wraps around the steering column. He sent me pics of what someone else did, but since photobucket went crap, I can't post them.
How was your header clearance with the Bzdel pedal and the F body master cylinder? I have the McLeod 139001 original version. I guess I'll just make a firewall reinforcing plate for the master cylinder.

I had no issues with the Bdzel pedal with any configuration. And I also used a firewall reinforcing plate. Mine was not large enough. Over do the plate. Spread the pedal load. Ill beat that tube flat to make this work. I will NOT take no or 80lb pedal effort for an answer. Im stubborn


80# pedal effort?! What clutch did you use? I have a Ram Force 10.5 Street dual disc. It's supposed to have just a little less to slightly heavier than stock pedal pressure and feel.

I run a SPEC clutch setup and the pedal is hard as a rock as well

I had heard that about the SPEC units and some others, that's why I went with the Ram dual disc. It's overkill for my application, but should outlive me!

So I now have reverse light circuit working and fuel gauge. Im sure more works but thats all I have tested so far. Just trying to see some of the longer wire runs and how they worked out. Ill never rewire a car EVER again. Not even for money.

Few progress pics. The back of the interior is done and more or less installed. I know header wrap is not great but I dont care... cuz I like it.
