Found it, knew I had seen one

 


 Yup, nailed it. Does that mean you don't need mine? Don't worry, I'm not hurt if I get to keep it!

I have the NOS pivot ball in the bag set aside for him already! Unless you found one of those also Kevin?


 no pivot ball found so far, you know I would buy the other fork off you . I know you were selling to me if i was stuck for one and thanx for thatsmile

 Then I'll leave it in the pack of stuff I've started for you. I can't see myself ever needing it.

Not exactly sure. The one image looks like it, another doesn't, and the listing seems wrong.

I'll find the number.

 Re the calipers, I saw those and wondered if they were good, bad or otherwise.  Any comment?

 China of coarse , but they look good. I am also sending in an original set to be rebuilt. I can see me doing my other B body cars too so I will work on collecting  another set.

 Can't speak for the BB guys. I just took a shot and bought a Ram 10.5" Muscle Car clutch for the 327.

Nice action. Seems fine for the mild SB. You'll probably do the 11".

I have a 69 427 flywheel in my 63 and an 11 inch clutch, I think a Luk. Ram has a good name, I had a problem in my 62 with an 11 inch Centerforce, it had a bad vibration and I had to replace it.

I assume you are not going drag racing?

Ok I ordered a Luk clutch kit and a new fly wheel from Rock Auto. The cost of resurfacing the old fly wheel is almost the same cost as the new one .
