Tick adj Clutch MC--ok to point down? I bought a Tick clutch MC off of a board member that was a reasonably good deal. This is on my 71 Cutlass and I have a hydraboost brake setup.
Going to have to do a few things to get it to work. But first just wanted to show you the angle the MC goes down~about -45 deg. Is that ok? I know the stock GM goes down, just looks weird on a regular style MC like the tilton one the tick is based on.
If its acceptable to mount that way I'm going to have to do some work on the mill to mount the aluminum block to the the ATS style clutch mount I have; the threads to the aluminum block are different from the threads in the clutch mounting plate. Also, the aluminum block threads the bolts from the rear and there is no room to do that so I'll have to mill into the aluminum block to create a surface for a bolt to connect with the correct thread.
Also you can see the fill reservoir is a bit cramped coming out with the hose--any problems just rotating the whole reservoir from about the 7 oclock position to about 2 oclock position? The hose goes to the upper fill reservoir; would mount better on the firewall for me anyway.

Might be a bit more of a challange to bleed it, but one you do I would think you would be good to go.
Definitely crowded down there.
Now that I think about it with that much tilt you will lose some reservoir capacity. I don’t suppose that is enough tilt that you will uncover the MC intake on hard braking? At any rate a remote mount reservoir might not be a bad idea.

And I do have the speed bleed kit tick sells; should be pretty easy w/upper reservoir where you fill easy to get at.
