Lal,

Looks like you just posted a few minutes ago...

OK, as I remember...I used ~.20" between the fully retracted ram, and the tips of the clutch diaphragm fingers before bleeding. Used a carpenter's square and straight edge to make sure.

When I was at the McLeod shop, the tech said it could be set up with as much as 0.25" clearance, even though the directions sheet said "minimum of 0.1, max .125" before bleeding the unit.

Ask around, maybe the Chevy service manual covers the setup for the truck unit in more detail...who knows if something is different...find out sooner than later.

I agree the Chevy type part at $99 is not necessarily a quality related issue. A stock Chevy truck service/replacement part may have had a few hundred thousand+? made...doubt the aftermarket race-car guys sell more than a few hundreds of each model they stock, so handling cost and markup are probably the big factors in higher prices for special fit hot-rod stuff.

Do test the thing if you can. Pulling clutches gets real old in a hurry.
