I am going to give Brewers to discuss but in the meantime, does anyone know what the front bearing retainer is?

Make sure your bellhousing has the right size hole to fit your retainer... "The Armies of our ancestors were lucky, in that they were not trailed by a second army of pencil pushers."

Especially now, as old as these cars are getting to be, lots of parts could have been swapped around over the years.
