Correct clutch fork 428
« on: December 20, 2018, 02:51:54 AM »
Hi everyone,

I have a C6OA-6394-D bellhousing to go behind a 428 in a '68 mustang, I purchased a clutch fork for it but noticed it uses the clip in style fulcrum as opposed to the wire style fulcrum that my C6OA-6394-D bellhousing uses. The fork I bought is an ACP unit that's supposedly correct for my application, however it doesn't have holes drilled for a wire retainer- it just has a riveted clip in style retainer. Does anyone have a recommendation on where to find either the correct clip in style fulcrum or wire style clutch fork? (which one is easier to source?)

Thank you!

Iprefer the later style fulcrum & fork that use a flat spring that fits thru a square hole  in the fulcrum. Much less hassle to Re&re the fork. I have bought new late style fulcrums from Mustang venders, and a heavier duty version from  McLeod.

I actually ordered an NOS fulcrum on eBay last night, courtesy of Tony Branda.

Thank you for the suggestion!
