That is definitely true about performing an alignment once the ride height issue is worked out. Gotta love the old style single piston master cylinder too [precurser to modern ABS I think not!]!
I adjusted the drum brakes via the star wheel so each wheel has a very small amount of drag.
I finally got some time to install the new custom length driveline. I also installed a clutch pedal/cable from an 80s mitsubishi mini pickup. The cable end bracket will need some reinforcement where it bolts to the firewall because I can see a small amount of firewall flex when the pedal is pressed down. The 80s mitsubishi pedal works great because the pedal turns a shaft that goes through a steel tube with a hook at the other end for the cable. This made it easy to weld the clutch pedal outer tube to the dashboard support brackets.
I picked up a gas pedal from a 90s Ford Ranger pickup truck and modified it to be actuated by the OEM Edsel gas pedal. I had to experiment with a few different lengths on the fulcrum length to attain correct gas pedal travel. It all looks a little bit ugly at the moment but I will sand and paint everything later. Still I am excited to have all three working pedals; throttle, brakes, and clutch!!!
