There is also a chance that there are leaves on the bottom of the airbox blocking the entrance to the hose, so even if the hoses are clear the water is stuck. Regardless of the vents being open or closed, the water will rather quickly get to the floor if it is forced to accumulate in the airbox. Plus, in the early cars it will rust out the metal portion of the airbox. > I'm now trying to get my repainted pedal cluster back in the car. The > clutch cable is not cooperating.

I suppose it is time to learn the "how to replace adjust a > clutch" method. This is really not quite as hard as the books make it seem. Release the cable from the tranny and hook it on the pedal lever. The cable will only fall off if you allow the pedal to fall backwards (toward the driver) as you are putting the cluster in. Once the cluster is all the way in the pedal stop on the floor will keep this from happening. The early pedal cluster, including 66 but changed by 68, was in two pieces, but can be replaced by the late one-piece cluster. The early one is harder to deal with because there are more pieces to hold in just the right position while you get the bolts in.
