He doesn't have to relate. The system is set up so he has to put something in to get results. They don't get to type in 'small block chevy points' and get an answer. It's YMM, followed by maybe sub model, 2 or 4WD, engine size. You can't shortcut, and it doesn't provide answers so they can learn that those points are for almost every SBC for 19 years, 50 years ago. 1955-74 https://www.chevydiy.com/1955-1996-...formance-guide-ignition-system-manual-part-8/
bought new clutch the smaller throw out bearing is what came with it. i had a new Ram throw out bearing ,built a lot better ,more secure on arm. but taller. anybody see a problem using it?
Yes, the arm and pivot are set up for a length of travel and operates in that narrow range. Changing the TO bearing length is going to change this. I haven't seen a diagram or math formula to figure this, but you might find one online. Since this is going in a full body car (57 Chevy), It's not a quick swap like it would on a bare frame. You can't just bolt it together and try it on the floor since there isn't an easy way to set up the clutch pedal linkage. You will want to put it in the car, connect it all up and ensure 3 things; Free play with pedal released Reasonable movement and effort from released Pedal Up through to applied at Pedal Down Gap at clutch disc is correct with pedal applied (two people) Free play and gap should be in specs for the car/clutch you chose. You mentioned a 69 chevelle, so here's user info on those. You can also check the clutch mfgr. https://www.chevelles.com/threads/adjusting-clutch-air-gap-method.142544/ https://www.ss396.com/cars/how-to-adjust-your-clutch-linkage/ The 57 probably doesn't have the same linkage, but this should give you rough limits.
I suspect your new clutch is probably a bent finger diaphragm and if that’s correct you do need the short t/o bearing. Also, the quality of that short one may look cheesy but hold the hub with one hand and then grasp the bearing and try to move it sideways. If there’s no movement it is an angular contact bearing and will be trouble free longer.
Don’t forget to take out the clutch alignment tool first. Then just stuff the trans in and see how it all fits together. Than take it from there.
it fit good. had all ready to go. have a muncie 4 speed coming and shifter. was in car before. prev owner said it needs to be with car. gave it to me so i’ll be selling sag 4 speed 3 ring
