Which way does the clutch disc go in? If I am reading the manual correctly the nipple side goes towards the flywheel.
I am installing an engine from a '51 car into my '52 truck and it looks like the car owner had the clutch the other way around. And also they used the wrong flywheel bolts and ground off the heads and ruined the clutch disk.
Many thanks! | | | | | Joined: Jul 2013 Posts: 388 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jul 2013 Posts: 388 | on one side of the clutch disc, towards the center (at least on mine) it should say "Flywheel side". It'll be small lettering, and might be hard to see... so take a long close good look at it!
