I'm going to replace my clutch (including the pressure plate), and I'm wondering if I can re-use my old bolts, both on the PP & on the flywheel. ('69 stock 383 4bbl) I know it would be "easy" enough to do so, but I've got everything I need, except for new bolts & I'm eager to get started. OK to...

Big block with OEM heads.... which exhaust manifold/header bolts are “wet”? (I have all bolts; no studs). I guess RTV is recommended on those threads, but is it absolutely necessary? (I reinstalled my headers without RTV on all the bolts.) Are *all* the bolts “wet” or just certain ones? Rick

Here's the base of my oil dipstick tube where it enters the block just above the oil pan. Is this OK?, ....or should the flange on the tube be all the way down against the cast block? I bought the car this way. Should I beat it down? :drama:

My '69 Roadrunner clutch doesn't *engage* until fairly high up in the pedal movement range. At least it seems high to me. Does this indicate clutch wear? (This car has had less than 1,000 miles since 2002, which is when it went through an extensive restoration & then taken to car shows after...
