TTI / 10.5 clutch

Sounds like you went about it with a little more thought than I did. We just bolted the 10.5" clutch & bellhousing into the car & then "made it work." I think it only took me & a friend or two about three days or so, working on it part time & working full time jobs. I know that once we had everything in there we had a problem of a chattering noise when the clutch pedal was pushed all of the way down. We figured it was the TO bearing pushing the fingers on the pressure plate so far that they touched the springs in the hub of the disc. We finally got around it with some fine tuning of the adjustment & never had another problem with it. I also remember that with the original clutch the adjusting rod was only about 4" or 5" long. With the 10.5" clutch the adjusting rod was about twice as long. This might have been because we screwed up the relationship of the arms on the Z bar, but I know we tried to put them back like they were before we cut it. I always ran this with a Borg & Beck pressure plate & it worked flawlessly. If the 10.5" clutch & linkage can be made to work with the Doug's headers, then I'll probably have a few decisions made for me.
