Clutch Flushing formula

Unknown

I did a search for clutch flushing, what I found was a formula of 4 parts tri-chlor-ethane and one part acetone.



I found some Carbo-Sol at True Value that is made by Sunnyside, says it replaces Carbo-Chlor which replaced carbon tetchricloride.



What I need to know is what amounts of each to use. Once Flushed/cleaned, should I flush with kerosene before putting in Hudsonite?



It's been 30+ yrs since I worked on a car with points, etc., I forgot how to do most of this, I am slowly relearning.



How should the clutch pedal be set for proper adjustment?



I have a 50 Pacemaker Deluxe Sedan. 232 CI w/3 speed.



Thanks for the help.

The 4:1 ratio is OK. This isn't rocket science. I would flush with kerosene before filling with clutch fluid to get the solvents out.



Set the clutch pedal to 1 to 1 1/2 inch free play before it starts to operate the clutch.
