getting ready to install motor

[madvette74]

I have a 385 stroker, with centerforce duel friction clutch, and pressure plate.. now I had this motor in before using the stock fork.. and it was a little difficult adjust the clutch, the nut for adjustment was at the bottom of the rod... now that I am replacing the motor, wich clutch fork should I get other than using the stock one??

you might want to try and go with a hydraulic throw out bearing. Have one on my 69' and its great. Bout $150 and you won't need the slave cylinder.

That's pretty normal - as the clutch wears and you adjust the linkage, the swivel and jam nuts move UP the rod, toward the firewall, not toward the front of the car.

My CF clutch instructions (CF II) gave a dimension from the tip of the pivot ball to a specific place on the block. If this dimension is not correct, you will have problems and will have to use an aftermarket adjustable pivot ball. Did you check this dimension?

Not to be a wise ass, but RTFM.
