Thanks for the video. I was actually wondering how you got at the adjusters with the T56 mounting flange being so wide to block straight access to them. Is the Browell deeper than the Quick Time, and if so, how did you deal with the input shaft length? Or did you get the Browell strictly to have a mechanical linkage?
I forgot to mention I did run the Quicktime with this clutch, but had to space it out then run a LS pilot bearing in the outside register for the pontiac crank.
@@Canadianchucknorris69 Thanks for the reply. Yes I have a Jerico with a stock style diaphragm clutch. I've tried a few different brands. My current clutch is a RAM HD PowerGrip. I know one day I need to step up. After driving long enough for the drivetrain to get good and heated it wants to grind ever so slightly going into reverse. Actually it won't grind and can be stopped easily if I ease in but still continues to turn even after holding the clutch in for five seconds or more. 70 Chevelle all stock mechanical linkage. Bell housing aligned to perfection. I don't believe it's an air gap or adjustment issue. I believe it's in the pilot bushing or disc binding or on the splines. Maybe the nature of a non snychro box that spins very easily.
Thanks, Rich. Collecting knowledge.
Love your car Rich! A Black 65 is my dream car!! Thank you for sharing
Rock on b
Really cool to see. Nice setup Rich.
Well done and good explanation
That is one bad ass goat
Thank you!
Can you please provide a link or brand info for the the ratchet you used to adjust the base pressure?? Thanks!!

Mine is a pro point but these look very similar

I got the Browel to deal with the 11” clutch finger weights, so it stock height just has more dia further back before the taper if that makes sense?

So you use 1/2 a turn of base and how much weight?
86 -90 grams depending on the disc
If you were to start over from scratch would you go full manual linkage or hydraulic ? I am looking to start converting my 65 from a power glide soon.
I have had both, started with a hydraulic and switched to a mechanical…. Definitely mechanical for me!
@@Canadianchucknorris69 so you have a totally stock linkage? Factory z bar set up?
Yes sir!
@@Canadianchucknorris69 Thanks. I can get all the linkage and pedals for $275.00 at Speedway. I wish the rest was that cheap lol
@@HotRodDave Right!?!?!
How often do you need to change disks?
It really depends on how many passes, but two or 3 drag n drives isn’t an issue.
@@Canadianchucknorris69 perfect! Thanks for the quick reply. Hope you had a good weekend.
Adjusting your app?
Have you ever had clutch release issues after driving on the street long enough for everything to get good and heated? Maybe 45 minutes or more.
Not so far, and I have been in some major traffic in hots temps, being a full mechanical linkage helps. Have you had a different experience?
The only thing I would mention is that it will get chattery in that stop and go traffic if you are stuck in it for a long time.
