Tim, I was meaning that the pressure plate mounting holes are only large enough for a 5/16" bolt. I'm sure not going to drill them out. Mystery to me why a PP that is supposed to be for a Ford 390FE and small spline toploader does not use the same bolt size as a FW that is also for that same engine. I'm wondering if the small spline tranny has to have a different flywheel.

When I look the flywheel up at Hays website, they say it has holes for both the diaphram PP and the Long style PP. But they don't say what size the bolts are. I just thought someone here might have run into this.
