Default Question about lakewood blowproof bellhousing and clutch fork ball stud

I have a clutch fork ball stud for my original bellhousing but am wondering if it will work in the lakewood bellhousing? My brother is a chevy guy and he told me when he had his lakewood bellhousing he needed and adjustable clutch fork ball stud because the fork did not work correctly with the clutch using the standard ball stud.

Is this an issue with just chevy setups or is Pontiac going to have the same issues.

I have the stock clutch fork, ball stud, throw-out bearing and dual friction centerforce clutch and diaphragm pressure plate (in case any of this info is needed)

Thanks,
Mark

With my Lakewood I had to use an adjustable pivot ball.
I used one from Mcloed.
The original pivot ball is not long enough.

This is correct. I had to dot the same thing.
