i need some feedback from someone that has used one, if they are any good please.
After kicking and screaming, I finally went the totaly hydraulic route. I'll never go back. Basically two choices on the T.O. bearing: Timken and McLeod. Used both. Next time around I would go back to the Timken although their support is horrible. I got the impression that they were saying "we're really not Mopar guys, so..."
EDIT: I meant Tilton. Not Timken.

heres a pic of the small block 130 tooth hyd bell. these come in the 88-91 pickups with the OD833. this would be the cheapest wat to go hyd in the A body.a different front bearing retainer woul be needed for use of a normal 833. I run a OD833 in my 340 powered 81 shorty and love it..
i do not think i can find something like that here in sweden, besides i already have a blowproof bell. And if i go hyd i really want the hyd t/o bearing

what clutch cylinder did you use?
Master cylinder? I used a late 80's - early 90's Nissan Pathfinder. Less than 25 bucks and performs as good as a Wilwood.
Quote:
Any part nr for the t/o bearing?
Go to their websites.
Quote:
does anyone know the area of the piston in the t/o bearing so i can calc the needed clutch cyl area?
Don't over complicate this area. A master cylinder with a 3/4"+ bore will work.
Quote:
also what is the stock mec link ratio?
The instructions for clutch pedal throw come with the units. I believe they are also on their websites.

is that for the large retainer bolt pattern....
I'm really not the go-to expert on this stuff. I was just sharing what I discovered through my own trial and error filled excursion into it. If I was you, I would call tech support and pick their brains.

American power train has what you need, just Google and click on mopar hydraulic clutch. I talked to these guy;s earlier this month about this set up, real easy to do, just a couple of measurements and bolt it up. Now the cost is not so easy for me, I'll stick to the old hardware.
it's ok to butt heads, just don't do it with a butthead
