Diaphragm clutch and free play

I don't see that number (2488372) listed in the Govier book. The closest I see is 2468372, which is listed fo 65/66 bigblock B/C-bodies.
I have no idea what the difference might be.
But Brewers lists this 372 for 67 to 69 A-bodies as well.

Great pictures; excellent work.
Your install looks sorta normal to me; except I think the fork should be parking a lil further forward...... which I think would make your situation even worse No matter if the fork doesn't hit the back of the window when the departure is set up.

But something looks off about that housing; it seems to not look deep enough to me; like the trans is too close to the engine. Lemmee go picture hunting. Nope the windows all seem to appear in about the same place. And the differences appear to be just the rear opening for the different sized retainers, IOW if the retainer fits, then you got the right bell.
