I've been using the GM 12557583 that registers in the larger hole in the crank where a torque converter fits.
Available on Summit for $13.99. Haven't had to pound out a pilot with bread ever since! Haha |

On my 427/428 FE Fords, I use a sealed ball bearing, supposedly the original application was a GM alternator. only issue is an extra .001 or 2 would hold it in better, sometimes it slides out while removing the transmission.
On my SB Fords, I use a factory needle bearing pilot for a 5.0L FOX Mustang, and replace them every year, as they tend to wear. Many years ago, when I bought my first Jerico, and McLeod "Soft Lok" sintered iron disc clutch, I used a factory bronze bushing, but the iron dust from the disc ate the bronze up really quickly.

Ordered one and will see how it fits. Measuring this crank looks like it should work. Aftermarket crank. If all goes back together will test it somewhat locally, Julesberg, and hope to make the midwest and divisional races at Earlville. |
