Rufus68 I will give this one a try. I plan on keeping on manually turning off my blinker. Let's give this one a try. 

When in doubt, call McLeod.  Summit is only as good as the info they have.

If you would like to travel more mountains and East TN countryside, look on the map at:
Plot a route to Clemson of your choice
Get on Hwy 28 and drive it north to the very end.  It will end in NC on Hwy 129 (basically at the start of the Tail of the Dragon).
Look on the map south down Hwy 129 and you will see Hwy 143 headed West (this is called the Cherohala Skyway)  (143 changes number to 165 when you cross into TN)
TN-165 west will take you to a town called Tellico Plains TN. 
In Tellico Plains, TN, on the map you will see TN-39 headed West to a town called Athens, TN.
In Athens, TN you would get on TN-30 continuing West all the way to almost McMinnville, TN.
Near McMinnville, TN you will see Hwy 70S that goes West all the way to Murfreesboro, TN.
Here on the map you will see TN-96 that will take you into Franklin, TN.

This is not an actual route you could follow but rather enough details to enable you to basically follow a mountain/countryside route to Franklin, TN on a map.  Give it look on a map on a big screen like a computer monitor instead of a phone screen.  This would not be a fast route at all but it would take you through some beautiful scenery that is drastically different than the Southern route you have in mind.

If you know about the Tail of the Dragon and you want to drive it, I´d recommend you drive it and return back on it to NC then go down to the Cherohala Skyway only because of the rest of the route from there to Franklin, TN.

Sounds like that would be a fun route for sure.

I think Billy wants the location of the actual venue. Not the town.

Yes I have a few I want to invite but they are wanting to just go to bash cause they dont live far from Nashville/Franklin Tennesse and are not going to stay at hotel. I would think the faster you post the actual event the more people will show up time is slipping away and people need to make arrangements for travel.I text Brian just now and he text back he had rented half of the park at Fieldstone in Franklin for the Bash on Saturday. Here is a Link to Park with address

I hear ya TKO, but I bought this car at a premium at the time and it was freshly restored. Between money and not wanting to molest work that was done, I went with the T10 Bell l, plate and T5 Trans; it seemed to be a common and well working conversion.

I did Find the Balance, issue I'm having apparently is the Bolt Pattern of the McLeod Diaphragm. It's Part Number 75105 and I am refusing to believe this has a Unique 1 off pattern!  It's made to be used on 86-2001 ----- is Summit trying to tell me that all the application DEMAND they change the flywheel and MUST only use the "McLeod Steel Flywheel 463100"

There is no way!

Does anyone have experience with these modern Diaphragm Clutches that can confidently say 1 Diaphragm of any brand bolts to MULTIPLE Flywheel Brands (obv the assumption is correct flywheel for the engine specs).

You might try contacting "Modern Driveline", I found them to be very helpful.

I also used a T5 bellhousing and a hydraulic clutch for my conversion to the T5 transmission.
