I wind up my mechanical Timex watch every day and it doesn't lose a second of time. I go to the ICE BOX for a soda pop that is in a GLASS BOTTLE and I use a bottle opener to get the cap off. I have a MECHANICAL dual point distributor for use on my engine.
I will ADD LEAD to the gas because the compression ratio will be 12-1 or higher. I only watch drag racing on TV and most of the rest of the time I listen to an AM radio. Oh yeah...my computer is a Commodore 64
And the only holes I like are in the swiss cheese that are on my ham sammiches.

Dep,
You are Da Man! You try to keep us straight but there are too many of us spoiled by the good life. I don't even wear a watch anymore, just look at my cell phone.
But we've stopped talking about cars. I still think a Hyd. clutch is the way to go, unless you are drag racing, then you really have to get high tech to win with the big boys. But it is a sport that has a nich for every level of competition.
You guys continue to do what you like to do. I just rode 10 miles, going to finish my rear suspension rebuild today, bleed the brakes (stock), used rubber bushings (stock), kept my 9 leaf spring, and will put my stock tires and wheels on and get it to the alignment shop. Somewhere in all this I will trim and mow.
Enjoy what is left of the weekend!

Why would I want the old mechanical linkage that could possibley bind under hard engine torque??
Go modern, go hydraulic.
