hello i just put my new clutch in and was looking at it and noticed that the throuout bearing didnt seat it right, took a closer look and its like the clutch fork is a 1/2inch too long, with alittle pressure on the fork it pushes the bearing to the passenger side. i doesnt seem right; now i just had a clutch failure (borg and beck style) one of the three fingers on the pressure plate were stuck in (engaged); will i have the same problem again? the new clutch is a diapram type (centerforce), or am i over reacting and its no big deal?!? thanks for the help.

Have you checked to make sure the pivot bracket on the bell housing hasn't been bent?
 
Interesting, I just went 383 from 340. The fork from the SB is too short. Brewers says it's the same piece BB or SB. As I see it I need the 12 1/2 to line up with the Z bar.
 
Can the pivot bracket be installed more than one way? Looks like a pretty good offset there. I know there are a few different forks and Z-bars. I'll try to post some picks of my collection. I'm not sure what they all fit though....

According to Brewers the BB and SB E-body fork is the same at 10.5" long. The A-body SB is 12.5" long and the BB is 10.875" long.
