Default Re: 69 Camaro B/S

After a few weekends of racing I was able to spend some time on the stocker.

Seemed like a good time to get started on the clutch.... or so I thought


Everything was going smooth until I insalled the Bellhousing, the Mcleod aluminum bellhousing I bought with the understanding fits this combo. Apparently there are "issues"

1st.. counter weight fingers
2nd.. I was told the base adjusters could be reached through the inspection window.

3rd.. the fork hitting the pressure plate with the pivot ball backed all the way out.

My frustration was only amplified after 2 phone calls with techs who had no idea what I was talking about. Finally today I spoke to the lead tech who was aware of these issues.

I'm not at all happy my 1100 Mcleod bellhousing will not direct fit my Mcleod clutch but they seem more than willing to get this sorted.

So far the plan is to change out the fingers for a newer style that should give 1/8" clearance. He is gonna send another block plate for another 1/8" if needed. some machine work is needed on the rear plate to get the fork off the pressure plate and have proper stroke. Far as the base adjusters.... think im gonna have to make something to go through the fork window.
