Re: Tremec in a 66 c10

Something to pay attention to is the pivot points and lengths of fulcrum on manual clutch systems. These were originally designed as a complete assembly from the pedal to the contact at the throwout bearing. Changing only one variable in the assembly can have adverse affects ranging from too little throwout bearing travel which won't fully disengage the clutch to too much travel which can damage the pressure plate. Many of the aluminum muscle era car bellhousings forks were designed to hug the bell housing closer towards the engine and lower in the engine bay. Which can also make the pushrod from the bellcrank run at an angle and have poor clutching affects. I am speaking from the school of hard knocks on this one being my end result was a complete fabrication from the pedal to the clutchfork. Using him joints and paying attention to the details make an excellent clutching assembly but it seems many folks just go hydraulic these days like the units from speedway.
