i done the wiring that carl h had and when i try and start it all i get is a click. i try and do it manually and all the starter does is spin. my clutch is doing something funky like it does not want to come back after it is compressed to the floor. i have bled it and still does tha same thing. i really need some help.

After bleeding the slave (the one that bolts onto the transmission), find the bleeder valve on the "clutch master" and bleed that too.

Was this car auto before?

ive never seen a bleeder on a master cylinder you usually have to do a procedure called bench bleeding with the master out of the car.

just do a gravity bleed.

open the slave cylinder bleeder, take the cap off the master cylinder, let the fluid drip untill its clear with no air bubbles (make take several minutes)

then adjust your clutch pedal.

are you bleeding the slave cyl or the little dampner box??

I don't think you can let it drip you'll be 30 before it finishes.

Open the slave cylinder with a LINE WRENCH.Then have your friend push all the way down and hold till you close the slave, Repeat till your friend says the pedal is firm.

PS. try not to get the hydraulic fluid on the paint. wipe it off as soon as possible
