OK,
As to specs on clutch...three finger presssure plate, 23 spline, 10 inch disc. I popped a set into the truck (A833OD with stock OD bell) this weekend with NO trouble at all and took Doctor Dodge's advice to use the allen head bolts for the pressure plate..MUCH easier than saying nasty things over hex head bolts close to the pressure plate. (In fact with this disc the tranny slid in easier than I am used to , and I like eashy since I have no tranny jack except my forearms!
The sets were/are sold by Sachs and come with new throwout bearing, pressure plate and clutch disc. I don't have the Sachs number right at hand but you can see the set on their web page. I called Sachs and asked before I bit on buying at such a steep discount (NOT from Sachs) They come in the factory shrink wrapped package that has the cardboard backing you see on the Sachs page but the backing is torn off for mailing in smaller package. Disc is still wrapped in the protective stuff.
I see they have a marking they are rebuilt in Mexico and are not stamped Borg and Beck or B&B, but sure look like Borg and Beck. They have the orange weight springs in the pressure plate. In that nearly $60 delivered to you price I was estimating in $30 for postage, and I sure don't think it would be that much. As much stuff as is made in Mexico now for car manufacturers trying a set at $60 didn't scare me, and as over stocks instead of $200 new, I bit. I think my source still has 6, so if the same folks are still interested, lemme know again and I will get em in the order y'all spoke up before. I am gonna get me two more for the shelf cause the proof was in the driving for me and I am a spare parts junkie!
Now to see if the clutch chatter that started it all is gone after I drive a while. I found the yoke angles at tranny and pinion were different from each other by a few degrees since I had to fabricate a cross member and put in a complete 489 case 3.91 positraction rear end including axle housings and springs. Also, my bearing in the crankshaft was not perfectly vertical in the crank. Hope fixing these did the deal!

. Let me know. I can send you the money via paypal or western pain-in-the-ass union. Tight clearances doesn't worry me at all, using a B&B 9.25" behind a 200 hp ballpark slant six does, I'm affraid it will A)slip B)wear out in no time C) both.
