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.

crackedback, when you are referring to the clutch arm, do you mean the fork, the z bar, or the ballstud bracket? im slightly confused as to which peice you are talking about, sorry
