so i'm installing a new clutch on my 1957 235, with a sm 420. its going in a 1951 3100 panel and as far as i can tell, the entire drive train is a miss match. the motor is a 1957, the rear is 1955 and the sm 420 is a "late model"
my question is should the pressure plate sit flat against the flywheel when the clutch plate is installed and the bolts are snugged down?
when i bolt it together, there is about a 1/8" space between the pressure plate bolt flanges and the flywheel.
i have a new clutch that came with the truck but not sure if its the correct one although when i run the number, it comes up correct.
any ideas or is this normal?
