Post subject:  Another pilot bearing question.
Anyone have the part number or year/make/modle of the big pilot bearing for the back of a 66 dart slant six auto crank so I can bolt up the 3 on the tree or maybe the NP435 4 speed in the 69 D100?

I bought the NAPA FC9907 today and the ID is perfect but the OD is too big.

I need a OD of about 1.550. Pulling the crank is not an option at this point and I would like to get this motor in the truck by this weekend.
My buddy had one of the small needle bearings that looks like it would fit into the smaller hole deeper in the crank but no luck there either.

If this is a finished hole you will have to check with your local Napa as it's either 615-1126 or 615-1157... if the hole is rough cast like the "late" cast cranks then I think you would then have to use 615-1033 and use Green Threadlocker at a minimum to lock it in place once inserted (did that on my '79 motor)...

Most of the early cranks I've seen have had the hole finished or even a pilot bushing from the factory installed (which was the case on my original '67 valiant's engine-equipped with an auto, but ready for a manual...)

Good Luck,

66 motor would have a small flywheel hub don't know that anyone makes that style of pilot bearing for the small hub may have to use the original style bushing
