Can anyone tell me if the clutch on my 87 GLHS is adjustable I believe when I asked question when new Ddoge mec. told me it is self adjusting, I hate the free play does not engage till almost all the way out, Had Great Lakes shift kit put on now car shfts great now I will work on clutch any help????

The self adjuster is in the pedal assembly. Lift the clutch pedal with your toe. That will take up any slack in the clutch cable. I don't know what you mean exactly by "all the way out", whether you mean out of free play, or clutch pedal near top of travel. Having the clutch disengage / engage in the first 1/3 of pedal travel (near the top) is how it is designed.

You think the car is fast now, the Stage II computer is mandatory. It will remove the torque and horsepower plateau and allow the motor to peak. The computer combined with the K&N, you'll get almost 20% more HP and 35% more torque.
