Post pics, along with details of mantinance/repairs, current and past mechanical problems. Since it needs a new radiator, it may not be carbon locked, it may have been overheated.

First order of business is decarbonizing, link is in the FAQs. Once that's done do a compression test. If that's within specs, tune up time. Then go over the mechanicals. Post back the good/bad/ugly of your results.

RockAuto.com seems to have the best prices brake master, clutch master and slave.

In my sig line you'll find links tho the FSMs, carb manusl, etc..
