Re: V8 pilot bearing

If there is some controversy about pilot bearing dimensions then it is probably due to transmission variations whether production or otherwise.

I've ran into problems over the years where there were variations in input spline shafts, pilot bearing differences as well trans case length differences. Especialy among mongral car companies such as AMC, Opel and others.

65/66 Rambler classics were for all intents and purpose the same car. However the 66 3spd manual trans case was about 5/16" shorter than the 65. Different splines on input shaft. Maybe a few other small but inportant variiations. OTherwise, on even a close visual inspection the 65 and 66 trans looked identicle.
