Which flywheel do I need?

I see, I see. I have my fingers crossed that the alignment between the pedal and the master cyl. rod is right, otherwise it sounds like I'll be fab-ing up a plate to compensate as you did. As far as the proper location to mount the master cylinder, does this image look correct?

The Hydraulic Clutch Master Cylinder at Schucks/O'reilly part number changed to CM116360 if anybody is interested.

I hear you, i'll probably do the same. I removed the auto brake pedal assy and shoved the 5 speed pedals up in there just to get an idea for what could be wrong. The worst I can see so far is that I may have to make some sort of spacer if there is a gap between the rod and pedal.

You are saying you installed your master cylinder where you had a clearance issue w/ the steering rack and the line, but I am reading a how-to that says to install the master cylinder where the rod is pointing downwards into the cabin, is that not what you did?

I'd like to see this. the main problem I have is with the wilwood clutch master cylinder is interfering with the brake vacuum booster. so now I have to go through the hole for the cruise control. Modify the pedal and use the raybestos master cylinder.

I see, I see.

Okay well today or tomorrow I will try to bolt everything up and see what modifications, if any, need to be made. I'll get some pictures for those interested.

Okay, here are some photos of what I've got going on so far. The pedals are A/G body "mechanical" pedals out of an El Camino. The Master Cyl. is from a 91 Camaro. The offset of the master cylinder mounting flange is quite extreme and the pictures show how I've got it sitting as I wasnt comfortable drilling the holes until I get some second opinions about it. Some pictures I've seen have the holes drilled opposite of mine but that would have the rod shooting down into the floor practically. Some of the photos show the clutch pedal resting about halfway through the throw but even with the pedal all the way towards the driver seat the master cyl. rod extends past it about an inch or so. This is not a problem, I can fab up a plate like pontiacgp was saying. What I worry about is having enough longitudinal throw to fully disengage the clutch and not end up pushing that rod in the master cylinder at weird angles. I was also trying to imagine possible interference issues with the line but can't imagine being able to turn the master cylinder too much without creating a geometry issue. Fabricating and welding extensions or bump-stops is absolutely not a problem. On to the pictures..

now that i think about it, it seems like with the master cyl. mounted that way it is too close to the pivot and if it needed anymore than an inch of throw it would start getting shoved upwards...it just seemed so wrong to have it pointing down, it was practically at the bottom of the pedal, i am going to go look at it again.

edit- I dont think its going to work any other way than how I've got it pictured.
