Is my return spring in correctly?

[ValiantOne]

Hey all,
Does this look right? Seems like it's stretched out to far. Yes , no?

Thanks

Looks like not enough coils and too short.
That risks stretching and could very well change how your clutch works half way through a short trip, but moving the back end of it over into those two holes in the fork lever might work out ok because the movement would be less there.
Having pull forward on the arm is best anyway.

That's the impression I get from it.

Like this? Better but still seems stretched out to far, no?

 

[ValiantOne]

Would one of you guys with an o/d be kind enough to snap a pic of how yours looks? Thanks for any help.

Best.

Since it stretches farther than that when you push the clutch I would have to say I agree that it is still probably kind of short.

New BB one that I have from Mega has 22 turns and both long ends. Their SB shows what you have now, 16.

Interesting. Subscribed. Going with same exact setup in my 67 cuda. Chris drop me a line when you figure out which spring PN# you end up needing to use.

Matt, I'm going to email a picture over to Wayne at Brewers and see what he says. I'll report back.

Well, Wayne says it is the right spring and installed correctly.

Matt, i actually bought this kit, but you can get the spring separately of course.

I was sure hoping somebody would post a pic of theirs.

Looks good. I looked up a few different suppliers and the small block springs all had aprox. 16 coils and it looks like you have it installed correctly.

I have a kit with the spring and all the hardware too.

Still looks over stretched for the application to me, but I'm not a Chrysler engineer either so what do I know?

I don't know whether this will help.

Looks like mine is adjusted much further out than yours. I do need a bit more freeplay in my pedal. Maybe that will make up for some of it.

Thanks!

I drilled a hole in the z bar as well. not hooked to the block like yours. I cut and rewelded my z bar to clear the dougs headers. so the way mine is setup is not factory by all means.

Looks like too long of a adjuster. Not a problem just too long.

I didnt even notice that until you mentioned it. I may try the hole in the z bar arm too if the freeplay adjustment doesnt help.

 

[AJ/FormS]

The Zbar hole won't work.
You are way overthinking this
Pic 3 is perfect
The only job that spring has is to pull the bearing off the clutch fingers. Pic 3 will get it done. I have put whatever springs on there from time to time.Whatever I found laying in my toolbox.
Well I suppose it has a second job; to keep all the "slop" in the system to a minimum.
