Hello. I am using the 78143 in my 69 Road Runner also have a Ram bearing in the wife’s 56 Chevy. So far no problems with either. The AP kit had only been in the Duster for a summer when I replaced it with the Malwood pedal so that is the reason for not buying another bearing for it Both brands were about the same in regards to shimming it to specs. However the aluminum spacer with the anti spin stud that came with the AP kit didn’t have enough shims provided in the kit to get the proper spacing which I had read others have had the same problem and they were more than happy to sell me another thicker spacer at an added cost.
