I like it! I have made so many "custom" parts over the years - many intended to be temporary have been in use for ever! As my father used to say, "Good ol' Yankee injunuity wins when the stores are all closed!"Quote:

There are 5 different areas of vital specs in that clutch system with 8 or 9 items/locations for wear and as it gets closer to the clutch pressure plate arms the more critical it becomes------
In this case it doesn't seem to be necessarily a wear problem but a parts choice not correct for the vehicle.
The method to correct this adjustment is probably the pivot height in the bellhousing and that's where the washers would of worked best.

If I decide to get back under it and tinker on it some more I will make sure that it is mounted correctly.
I am currently building a short box frame that will have a 454 and 600TKO mounted on it and build up the bed when thats ready I will throw my cab off the long bed and drive away with an almost brand new truck.
