I have a 68 Panel truck with a big block and a New Process 435 four speed and I need a new clutch. The old clutch is a 12" with a 10 tooth 1-1/8" input shaft spline. I found a Sachs clutch kit with those same specs at Autozone:

https://www.autozone.com/drivetrain/...2hd/321938_0_0

It says it wont fit. I looked it up on the Sachs website and it doesn't even show a 12" clutch available for the year and model and calls for an 11" clutch. BUT Orielly's has the same clutch kit (even the same part number as Sachs and Autozone) and says it WILL fit.

Is there something I'm missing? Other than the 12", 10 tooth, 1-1/8" input shaft, is there anything that might be different so that it won't work?
