George Hovis asked:
I am considering replacing my clutch master cylinder myself 
(semi-skilled, novice mechanic).  Questions:
a)  Is this a good project for a beginner? 
***Yes. a few simple connections to break/make. Do you have tools?
b)  Does someone have any tips/instructions on the web? 
***Got a manual? If not, get one!
c)  Does one routinely replace the slave along with the master cylinder 
or is there even a slave I need to replace in a '74 GTV? 
*** If the master needs replacing the slave could also. How do you know the MC 
DOES need replacing? If the car has a clutch master cylinder, there MUST be a 
slave cylinder. Otherwise you would have a mechanically operated clutch, with 
NO cylinder, master or slave. Have you tried bleeding the clutch hydraulic 
system? (Again, see the manual; you MUST turn the slave cylinder so that the 
bleed nipple is upright. The slave will be on the left side of the bellhousing 
(assuming a left hand drive car) with a metal tube going into it at the rear of 
the cylinder.
Good luck,
Len
