Ray Cecil Posted May 16, 2019 Author Share Posted May 16, 2019 That is correct. Tonight I got the clutch pivot bar, front driveshaft, steering damper, dizzy, dipstick tube, and harmonic balancer re-installed. The balls and bushings on the mechanical clutch linkage looked very nice. Where the clutch fork pushrod has that washer looking thing at the end, is there supposed to be a small bushing there? What about at the other end where the rod that is vertical meets the pivot bar? Bushing there too? They seemed a little loose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I'm not sure exactly what you are talking about with the "washer looking thing". However, the illustrations are here, and they should help: Driveline/Clutches & Linkage.

Gary, item 7521 in the diagram. That part on mine looks like a washer welded to a stud where it connects to the pivot bar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny, I just noticed there are two parts labeled 7521. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray Cecil Posted May 16, 2019 Author Share Posted May 16, 2019 Funny, I just noticed there are two parts labeled 7521. Im missing 7526 and 358980. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Lewis Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 Im missing 7526 and 358980. I think LMC might have 7526. But go to the part number tab and you can get Ford's part number and search for it on line. However, 358980 does not have a part number other than 35890. But, it is just a spring washer, as shown in the parts list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man, is it a pain in the @$h getting the intake and header bolts started. I think the header tubes will be ok around the starter. There is one that comes a finger width to the very front of the starter that sticks out like....well....you know....a nipple. Water pump is painted but not installed. Its not a highly detailed job, but its good enough for now, and TONS better than it was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Text me before you come to make sure we'll be home. I met your Holly so maybe you can meet mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
