Michael, Having photos of your setup may be helpful to me. I'm not familiar with the Ford system. With the 1960's GM parts (except for the clutch itself which Olds sourced from Ford!) I'm using, the clutch was operated by a "Z" bar - pushing the fork rather than the Volvo cable setup which pulls to activate. That's why I considered a hydraulic 260 setup which also pushes. I chose a Datsun 510 system to consider because those cars remain popular with parts being available and the slave is simply mounted with two bolts to a bracket. I'll have to drill holes in the firewall insert on my '93 auto body (which-by the way-I just learned getting a clear title will not be the major obstacle I thought it would be) whichever way I go. Why on earth did Volvo make auto/stick specific inserts from '86 and up anyway? My email--fastforwardphoto(AT)yahoo(DOT)com.
And to not completely hijack this thread I'll offer this---I first saw the Volvo clutch adjustment procedure where the release bearing is always in contact with the pressure plate on later 240 Turbos (stepped flywheel?). Earlier cars have a spring down below pulling the fork back as well as the pedal spring to keep the pedal "up". -- Dave
