HELLOOOOO FABO!

I have installed an A833 on a 383 in a 67 barracuda. I am running a diaphram pressure plate and disc from Mcloud. I think I got it from Brewers....its been awhile. I go to tighten a forgotton crank pulley/damper bolt and when in gear the driveline did not turn. I have the car on jacks. I put a 1/4" screw driver through the flywheel to get the job done so I could continue with the rad/fan install, but as I move forward to starting the engine for the first time I am worried I dont have something set up correctly and dont want to mess up my clutch. I have taken off inspection cover and will probably have to pull rad/fan to turn crank. So what am I looking for? I know there should be somewhere around 60 thousands or 125 thousands of play betweeen hydraulic T/O and diaphram fingers...Ill check that measurement against instructions, but if there is play as instructed...why would the new disc not have bite enough to turn driveline/wheels?

Thanks FABO!

Either the hydraulic bearing is engaged, trans didn't go into gear or driveshaft not installed.

copy that. Ill check clearance on TO bearing. tough to check the trans in gear thing. the lever clicked into position so I would think so. It turned mainshaft prior to installation. Ill keep you updated after checking tonight. driveshaft installed. I guess I could have not tightened the pressure plate....but that would be a total fail....Ya pretty simple stuff here. #confused.
