I am working on a 64 Fury Max Wedge clone & I am having problems with the clutch linkage.It has a lakewood scattershield a centerforce DF 11in clutch & a hemi 4speed.At first the clutch fork was at the wrong angle to mate with the Z bar so I moved the pivot arm up about an inch & its better but the clutch rod is only about 3/4inch long so there is almost no adjustment,also the arm on the Z bar is just about hitting my 3in TTI MW exhaust.So I was thinking a Hydraulic TO bearing might be the way to go Have any of you guys gone this route Any suggestions on how to fix my setup.
Thanks
Sal

I've got a hydraulic T/O bearing on order for my street rod. I should be getting it any day now. This will be the first time using one so it will be interesting. I will let you know when it arrives. I ordered it from American Powertrain. One of their employees is a member of Moparts.

I am one of the few that is opposed to a hydraulic release bearing.I am a fan of the external slave cylinder set-up just because if something goes wrong or starts leaking you can service it without a whole day being lost
There are quite a few options available from stock to race type cylinders from Willwood.
Some guys have had luck with the slave from an early Dodge truck.
