Muncie clutchfork & ballstud questions.

Paranoid · 08-24-04, 09:35 PM

Do these two pictures look like the clutchfork is in the center of the opening? The first picture is the original 1970 M-20 I removed from my Vette. In this picture the ball stud is 1.5 inches:

This picture is the BB I'm working on. It too utilizes stock internals but the question is whether I have the correct ball stud. I'm not sure what size this ball stud is but it looks pretty darn close to me.

Thanks
Len

I've seen that sheet Bob, but I'm using a stock bellhousing.

Looks OK to me - the stock ball stud is P/N 3729000, 13/16"-16 thread, 1.5" long.

Now I find out how to adjust ball stud after the fact!! Oh well, my clutch works great, no pedal or clutch chatter, however, I have a lakewood bellhousing and didn"t use a adjustable ball stud. This was on car when I bought it. I just resurfaced flywheel, new clutch, plate, bearing, fork. Also have rod end linkage. Fully adjustable. Now, would that let me achieve proper arm travel, but at the same time not provide for proper geometry? Maybe there's nothing to be concerned about here cause everything really does work terrific.
