<VV> clutch job

[Frank DuVal]

I agree with Matt. Best to disassemble and see what is needed instead of 
winging it. These cars are 50 years old and many things were done to 
keep them on the road over the years.

But, since you ordered the early flat flywheel parts, you can use them 
also, just in a complete set. This "set" includes the throwout bearing 
and ball pivot stud.

The throwout bearing must match the "flat set". The ball stud maybe, and 
has it been changed to the "stepped set", or maybe a 64 or later diff 
installed? (does the bottom of the diff have the transverse leave mount 
holes).

If the diff or transmission was changed, the input shaft seal may need 
to be the larger size than 61 had. Measure the ID of the new and old 
seals to see.

Rain has started here. Still 4 Corvairs more than could fit into any 
garage. Most away from trees. Wind to follow later. They did survive the 
earthquake better than my house!
