which clutch

Well, the boy burned up the clutch on Mighty Whitey yesterday so we get to do a clutch job this weekend. Orielies has 2 different clutches for his truck and I am not sure which one is right. There is an option for a 12 3/8 bolt circle and a 12 and 5/8 circle. I know the only real good way to find out is to crack it but we were really trying to have the parts ready to go before it is down.

The other thing on this truck is we can not seem to get the pedal to return. We have adjusted it but the pedal will come up part way and if you pull it with your foot or hit a good bump it pops up and hits the bumper under the dash.

Thanks
BTW, 78 f250 custom 351M 4x4

Chris

I'm not sure about the clutch difference but the pedal sticking sounds like a throw out bearing issue to me

It's hard saying what we are going to find when we get in there. Last time that clutch was done was I believe 96 when it was my daily driver. I am going to put a new TOB fork in it when it comes apart too so maybe that will help that

The 400 uses a 12" clutch and the 351m uses a 11"

D7TZ-6375-D .. 400 Flywheel-Use with 12" clutch.
D7TZ-6375-E .. 351M Flywheel-Use with 11" clutch.

thanks for all that info. Both those measurements were for an 11" clutch I believe. It is just the different bolt pattern that has me stumped.
