It appears that I lost whatever the release bearing spring attaches to. It must have fallen out while I was cleaning the bellhousing, as I can see that it wasn't on my "cart of hardware".

What did the spring attach to? Was it just a pin with a hole, similar to the one in my picture? (which is out of my hardware collection, and too big to fit through the hole in the bellhousing)

Thanks, Jeff

Another poster answered the same question for me earlier this year. Little buggers sure get lost easily don't they. A pin like you show is all that is used and here is the specs on what it should be.

Thanks Howard,

The town I live in actually still has an old-time hardware store. I'll have to see if they have something close that will work.

The wayward pin has been found. Turns out that it wasn't lost after all, just reassigned to a different department. Now I need to check the parts book and see what's supposed to be on the throttle linkage. The carb was removed when I got the car, so whatever was there could be in the can of engine hardware that was in the trunk.
