The removable bottom is a big help for adjusting pressure plates. The fact that it fits both size flywheels is a big plus also. If you never installed a Lakewood shield in a car before, you're in for a treat. Do you have the starter install kits for them?

Sell all three of those outdated stamped steel il fitting bells. Buy a new QuickTime and never look back.

The one with the removable bottom; is that a factory piece from Lakewood?
Yes. I bought one new back in the 78-79 timeframe. It was a replacement for the factory aluminum bell in my road runner that split radially one day. The pistol grip shifter about beat me silly before I could get the car stopped. I was lucky it didn't drop the transmission on the ground. If you're installing any of those laying on your back, the Harbor Freight transmission jack works great for lifting it up and down and up and down while you're dialing it in.

Keep the 2 piece one for sure. They are fairly rare. No need to buy a new can. You have to be [censored] me if you think 99% of the guys on here are going to notice 15-20 pounds of can weight. Hell, most of us can afford to lose that much weight off ourselves.
You should be using some form of adjustable pressure plate. That 2 piece bell makes it WAY easier to adjust the clutch, which you should be doing.
Just because you think it won't make it true. Horsepower is KING. To dispute this is stupid. C. Alston
