[1967Tempest]

I have an aftermarket OEM style flywheel with a Pontiac bell housing with a stock style z bar set-up. The engine mounts are in the correct loaction (factory) I welded the z bar bracket dead nuts to where the z bar is on a good perpendicular angle. No sway or engine rocking.

I have the HD style clutch rod. Although it was too long and needed some messaging on the grinder. Works great now.

Stock-ish set-up and I got no separation from flywheel and disc.

Readjusted clutch rod for ZERO gap to see if that would make any difference. I got a little marcal movement, but not and separation.

I have a diaphragm style clutch with the TO bearing that it came with.

Same thing happened on last Tempest. I ordered National PN# 1377C. Should be here in a few. Ill swap it out then.

I'm just curious as to why all of these short bearings don't move the PP away. I mean if you JUST changed a clutch in a 67 from original you would run into this issue wouldn't you???

The TO bearing on left came with clutch. 1377 in the middle..
