Lakewood bellhousing in A-body conversion

Like most anything aftermarket, you have to fix it to make it work.

I had problems with a Lakewood on my Dart and had to make a 3/8" shim for the clutch arm pivot. The pivot point was too far a from the flywheel face. If you have a stock bell, measure how far the pivot is away from the flywheel face and get to work making the lakewood the same. That usually fixes the pivot issue.
