The vehicle in question has a 427 with a single plate 3-finger clutch coupled to a RT-613 Fuller.The release fork pivots on a cross shaft. The only thing that was changed besides the disk and pressure plate was the throwout bearing and pilot bearing. All the old parts were examined by the guy at a reputable clutch shop, so it's doubtful I got the wrong clutch. The flywheel was resurfaced at .006". Everything went together nicely and I didn't think anything was wrong until I had to shorten the adjusting rod 1" just to get the pedal off the floor. Now the release fork is rotating so far that one of the pinch bolts was striking another bolt on the front of the trans. Called the clutch guy and he said the fingers should be pointing toward each other with the clutch torqued in place, which they are, and he did not recommend messing around with the finger adjustment. In the end I lucked out by using a jamb nut on the pinch bolt to gain the necessary clearance. The clutch action is smooth and easy, but I am not too happy with this fix because I don't know where the problem lies. Obviously, the throwout bearing is too far from the fingers, but why? Before I took the old pressure plate off, the fingers were pointing outward the least little bit, but I figured it was because there was zero lining on the disk. The old disk was organic, the new disk is ceramic, by the way. Thanks for any input you might have.
