My '70 has been sitting for a good while and I am about to start putting the drivetrain back in. What I can't remember is, which throwout bearing do I use with my Borg & Beck style clutch. I have a long one and a short one sitting here, and I need to be SURE before I put one in and THEN find out it is the other. I'm FAIRLY sure it is the short one for B&B and long for diaphragm, but I sure would like someone who knows FOR SURE to back me up, or correct me. It is a Big Block with an 11" clutch and a Muncie. Thanks, Mike

Mike - I had the same struggle a few months back. The tech guy at McCleod told me that different clutch manufacturers will not have consistent finger heights for the same application. I recommend you buy an adjustable pivot ball and both TOB's and check for proper fork geometry. Obviously you take the wrong TOB back. You really want to get that fork geometry right.

Help. We need this answer as well. What bearing and do you know what its length was or Part number.

With the scattersheild or bell housing on I was able to install the clutch fork with tob. So what I am saying is install the engine with flywheel, clutch, pressure plate, and scattershield/bell. Then throw the shorter tob in with the clutch fork, push it till it just touches the clutch fingers. You should have a few degrees forward on the clutch fork. If it is too far, put in the longer tob and it should decrease the angle. When you have this right, put in the trans. You can do all of this underneath the car or if you have the engine on a stand.

If this doesnt make sense ask me to clarify or send me a pm. -B
