Re: 66 gmc c10 transmission swap to sm465
Sounding good so far.
I have an aluminum bell housing (mechanical). I believe it is a 73-85 model. It looks like the mechanical clutch linkage on these is different than the 60-72 style. The throwout arm is different, it doesn't have a hole in it for clutch rod. It just has a punched dent in it for the rod to seat into like on the hydaulic arms. Also, there is a pivot ball on the bellhousing for the linkage to attach to. 60-72's don't have the linkage attaching anywhere to the bellhousing except at the clutch arm itself.
Can I use my current linkage 66 linkage and arm with the 73-85 bellhousing? Or should I try and switch my whole linkage to a 73-85 model?
Thanks,
Dan
