I was simply looking at the advance adapters bell housing since it's an external slave cylinder that sits in the driver's side. Haven't looked too much into oem housings simply because they are harder to find.
I've driven a few mechanical clutch vehicles, and the hydraulic setups are always easier in terms of force.
Especially going in a 1 ton truck with clutch much heavier than say a Jetta.
Yeah, I just can't seem to find any at any junk yards. Nothing pre 1995 in any pick n pulls. Very little chevy's. It would be surprising to find any brand manual truck here.
Which leaves me trying to source parts on craigslist/ebay unfortunately..
I am trying to find a manual clutch/brake pedal assembly, but there are not that many for sale. I found one, but the seller says they do not know if it's off a hydroboost or vacuum brake truck.
What are the physical differences between the hydroboost and vacuum brake pedal assemblies?

May have spoke too soon. It appears it starts normally when cycling the glow plugs at least 4 times. If I try to start after 1 time then it cranks for a long time. Considering I have new glow plugs and batteries it seems my problem lies in either the relay or bad wiring.
Did the 12v conversion and deleted the driver's side alternator and now I'm trying to find a v belt that fits the larger groove on the PS pulley.
Anyone know the circumference difference between the inner and outer grooves on the power steering pulley?
I do not have a way to measure it.
I think I found the issue. So the fuel in my tank is probably 6 years old. I threw 3 gallons of fresh diesel in a few weeks ago, and I think its finally being fully ingested as my cranking time was only 9 seconds today to get it started. Side note: It never shutters or hesitates right before it...
Ac60G brand new.
Relay is original
Wiring to the relay is new.
Wiring to the plugs is original....
I suppose I could rewire all the plugs and connectors. It does make sense
Symptoms of my hard starts have been very consistent lately, so I took a video. Smoke is a little hard to see, my exhaust tip fell off the other day due to rust.

It will start like that sitting overnight, or after sitting for a week.
Keep in mind I did the 12v...
I've seen this device mentioned in several of stanadynes documentation about their injection pumps.
Its a mechanical linkage that can override the fuel shutoff solenoid. I think it'd be pretty cool to have on a cucv, it could make a 6.2/6.5 and entirely mechnical engine, not a single wire...
