Re: 1940 160 Super 8 Bell Housing question

Thanks again Guys,

I've created more questions than answers so far..........

I've noticed in the parts book there are a couple of bell housings being noted, but I haven't found any answers on the difference.

So examining what I currently have:

The only markings on the transmission that are apparent are R9A-1. The spline dia. is 1.375" and the pilot shaft: 1" (.985")
The length from the face of the transmission to the end of the pilot shaft is 6.5".

I haven't been able to remove the bell housing as of yet to investigate, but it appears from the photo the pilot is not fully engaged into the bushing.

The depth of my bell housing is 7.875" and the one measured on another 160 was 7.5". So I'm wondering if it's as simple as swapping out the bell housing or is this going to interfere with other components in the clutch assembly.

Still looking..................
