68 Chevelle LS/T56 swap question

[4cefed]

Car is an original automatic car, Ive been looking at hydraulic clutch pedal conversions and am undecided on which to buy. Who makes the best/easiest to retro fit?

Mcleod makes a kit that vendors can get you for $250 or so, but it's nothing special, other than the Bowler kit none of them use things you couldn't assemble yourself (which is what I did). Someone on ebay sells tons of the kits @$310, so I don't know if people are stupid, lazy or just don't take 30 seconds to see that it's cheaper at Summit, Jegs, or anywhere else. Regardless, this is what I bought

McLeod pedal from 1shopauto I think? Here is a picture of it http://ls1tech.com/forums/conversions-hybrids/1324170-ls1-71-chevelle-convertible-28.html#post19274304

Ebay MC bracket, $30
Speedway bleeder $40 or something
Stock master and line, not too much at Rockauto, or plenty pop up in forums
Pedal above $50
Reservoir, was on master, but new one is dirt cheap
Same with bolt to connect pedal to master.
All of this for under $200, less with coupons and cashback sites. I spent $160ish.

The beauty of using stock parts means if the master blows any parts place can fix you up. That's also my logic for C6 brakes over Baer, junkyard hydroboost, etc etc. Your logic might differ.

I went with McLeod pedal throw out bearing and clutch, easy to install. I sent the throwout bearing back to them and they set it to the correct depth at no charge. Will let you know how it works in a couple of weeks.
