Default Re: Saginaw 4 speed 10” press. Plate to 48 merc fly wheel

I have had the engine/trans out of my 32 5W 3 times. The last time was because the early Ford throw out carrier was hitting the fingers on the diaphragm Pressure Plate by just a tiny bit. It certainly made a lot of noise when you stepped on the clutch.
It was a 50 Merc so I replaced the Pressure Plate with a Borg and Beck unit.
All is quiet and happy now.
