I've been dealing with a sinus issue and today was the first day that I have left the house since Christmas day, guess where I went???
I spent some time today and put a socket and breaker bar on the alternator pulley nut and turned the engine over several times so I feel better about that. I found why the clutch pedal is seized up, or at least one reason anyway, the clutch master cylinder is full of powder!!! The brake reservoir is full of fluid though, old fluid, but not leaking anywhere. I sprayed some PB Blaster on the clutch pedal assembly anyway and will possibly check it tomorrow.
I have a battery charging up and will install it tomorrow and see if things crank over. First I will disconnect the fuel line and drop it over in a bottle and see if any, or what, gunk comes out, granted if the starter works that is. The next step would be to connect a fuel line from a gas tank or funnel and see if the engine wants to run, oh and gotta clean the points while I'm at it.
I also took her top down today, just had to see her topless again ya know. [emoji38]
That is the original boot/top cover by the way.
