which pilot bushing should I get?
what about pressure plate? match the one from the 216 which is 10 3/4"
anything else I should look at?
Thanks
Ed

Maybe someone knows a part-number/supplier for the correct pilot bushing for the Powerglide engine?
I'll search for one, and post back here if I find one. | | | | | Joined: Sep 2001 Posts: 29,269 Bubba - Curmudgeon | | Bubba - Curmudgeon Joined: Sep 2001 Posts: 29,269 | 1959 Chevrolet Bel Air L6 235 3.8L (3852cc) Only Used For Automatic Transmission Conversion; Powerglide to Manual Transmission; 1.060 In.
