3 pointsSo in 0.2 degrees of rotational change, you're seeing about .001 in longitudinal change. I'm with you in that's nearly zero play. But... That is unloaded, right? nothing to compress the spring(s) in the tie rod ends? Nothing to smoosh the grease out of the rack and pinion gears? I don't think you'll see much, but you might see a little more than that if you would lock the rotation and push/pull the the rack back and forth with the rotation lever frozen. Just thinking out loud for theory's sake.3 points

Is the fuel pressure still at 38 psi when you are cranking it after it has stalled? If so, it's not a fuel pump or tank issue. It would (should) be relatively easy to narrow it down to fuel or spark. Since it just shuts off, I'll rule out air and ignition timing. But it should be relatively easy to determine which of the other two is causing the issue. Next time it stalls and won't start, pull the center wire off the distributor cap (the one from the coil) and lay it close to the nuts on the strut mounting point. Slide the rubber boot up the wire a little bit to expose the metal contact inside. Then crank the engine and see if you have spark from the wire to the strut nut.2 points

2 pointsI got a new rack from T3 before the holidays. Just now took it out of the box. Being curious, I set up a test fixture of sorts to check for free play. Using a 24" piece of aluminum, and a dial indicator, I came up with the following results: I'm not very good at math, but I think that the rotation measured at 24" is very minimal. My results show no play. After doing a little research, I am moving about .2 degree in my testing.

1 pointNot sure if its an exact match to OEM, but I used this and it works great https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08QDP61WT/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=11 point

1 pointI took the forum's advice and tied a gym sock around the end of the master cylinder otherwise I would probably have a new implant!1 point

1 pointToday my daughter helped me in the shop. We made some good progress. I got the driveshaft in and mated up to the R200 with the Zcardepot flange Brake booster lines and check valve installed Water necks and thermostat housing installed Heater hoses hooked up I replaced the red plug wires with a set of factory wires. They are absolutely beautiful!! Also got Sean's exhaust hung under the car. It needs a few details to finish I assume this ground is supposed to attach to the frame rail here?? Not too far from being ready for some coolant, fuel and a start up
