Clutch Pilot Berring

is there any difference in the diamerter of the pilot berring, compared to a 302 cause the one i got will not slide into the crank, but it fits perfeclty in the 302, i got the berring with a clutch set and i told them that it was for a 390, was there a difference in the crankshaft over certain years?
thanks
NATE

390's should use a bushing OD of about 1.850. 302's are 1.375. So actually a 302's bushing is much smaller than a 390's. Some pilot bushings are a 2-piece roller design; is it possible that the inner section is out but the outer still remains in the 390's crank?

Another possibility is that you are trying to put a 302's bushing into the 1.250 hole that is just behind(deeper into the crank) of the 1.850 hole that you should be using.

The correct hole for the pilot bushing is the 1.850 (larger outer hole). Were you trying to use the smaller hole?
