A couple of updates:
The steering problem turned out to be the column locking mechanism. We managed to screw up both columns when we were trying to swap the ignition assemblies. Got a new column from a junk yard and it feels great.
Also, I fixed the rough idle. There was a vacuum hose disconnected that had gone to a little valve by the MAF that has something to do with the emissions system. Eventually I will reconnect all that stuff but for now, I just plugged it and it runs great.
With all that done, there is one thing left to fix. The clutch.
My brilliant friend decided it would be a good idea to try to do a burn out while holding the brakes and roasted my brand new clutch
It drives ok, but it judders terribly when releasing the clutch pedal from stop or when downshifting. I am pretty sure the throwout bearing or pilot bearing got destroyed as well since it now make a terrible noise if it is in gear with the clutch in. I also need to get a hold of a pressure bleeder because I don't think we got all of the air out of the system since it can be difficult to shift into 1st, even with the pedal to the floor. As soon as I get some money again I am going to buy a super clutch kit from pelican and replace all of the little clutch parts. Also need to replace the shifter bushings since we forgot do it before we installed it (had the parts and everything
)
There are still plenty of other little details to take care of but it is finally roadworthy again!
