Technical 56 ford mainline clutch questions

does anyone have a good diagram of the clutch stuff, specifically the adjustment rod? I'm not familiar with these cars, and I'm trying to put something together that's been apart a long time and I'm having no luck with Google.

 

Does the clutch yoke have a hole in it at the outboard end? Do you have the Z bar? Pictures?

 

This is an old Joblot Ford parts catalog, click on the READ tab. They are out of business but the catalog has great illustrations. Also a factory manual is good to have around.

These are from a 55 Ford parts book so may or may not be any help.

 

here's what I've got...

 

these look like they'll work. it appears um missing the u shaped piece of metal, the spring, and the bolt that attaches the rod to the z bar. now I know what I'm looking for, thanks!

 

thanks! you guys come in clutch again! (pun intended, I'll see myself out )

 

I've got another question: where does one find a clutch kit for this car? O'Reilly and rock auto both list an 11" 23 spline clutch, but I believe this should have a 9 ½" 10 spline clutch. Ebay has the clutch and pressure plate separately, but they want an asinine amount of money for them, and they don't include a bushing or throw out bearing. does anyone still sell a full clutch for this car?

The 49-56 Ford passenger cars came with the 9-1/2” diameter clutch with the 1” x 10 spline hub in the center. The pressure plate was also 9-1/2” naturally. This is all regular stuff that we and other vintage Ford vendors sell. We offer the parts individually or in a clutch kit.
