Length of clutch fork?
Thanks. This, along with some clutch forks found on ebay confirms what I suspected. In the era of late 60's, apparently there were two clutch forks used on the sb 318 engines (what I have), depending on application, bell housing and transmission. One was around 13 inches, and the other just shy of 11 inches.
My engine, bell housing and transmission were for a truck application, along the lines of a D200 (or even D500 or D600), and was originally equipped with hydraulic clutch system, and probably had the longer 13 inch fork, but clutch linkage has been converted to a cable system by a previous owner. When they did the conversion, they used a shorter clutch fork.....measures 11 1/4" end to end, and this one does not have a ball end for the push rod from the slave cylinder.
Kinda having to piece together what it is I have, vs. what it should have been, and handicapped by not knowing the latter.
Thanks again.
