Scoggins Dickey Clutch Pivot Ball Bracket

[VAroute66]

Did the Scoggins Dickey bracket really work for anyone without considerable modification? When I install and line it up, I can't even get the nut on the back of the ball. Even without the nut, the ball stud hits the block. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated. At this point I would consider a hydraulic clutch, but do not really want to modify the firewall to install the master cylinder. Thanks for any input.

What engine are you installing it on? I used one on my '65 with a 6.0L - fit fine.
