I don't have experience with it, so these comments are merely from looking at the GMC shop manual-
Your throwout arm looks like the picture in the manual. Do you have the correct clutch? The V8 should have a Borg & Beck style, which has coil springs, rather than a diaphragm spring. The six B & B pressure plate cover bolts are evenly spaced around the cover, versus a Long-style's three-pairs-of-two. Maybe the wrong throwout bearing? I'm curious why "389" appears in your thread title, since the '58 336 is more closely related to a Pontiac 370 (just a smaller bore and lower compression).

Is there a casting number? My MPB shows 3736502 as the proper fork.

It looks identical to the one that was in my '59 GMC, which originally had a 336 (although mine was a 389-based 336, not 370-based like in '58).
