    Hoping someone can help me locate a replacement pivot stud like what I have. I located a similar picture on a well dead thread: (Clutch)

    but here’s mine and you can see the wear any why I want to pop in a replacement while I’m working on it:

    Any assistance or part numbers would be great

    I think that ball stud is a '71 only version with the one-piece bellhousing (doesn't use an adapter plate between the bell and trans). The earlier two-piece setup ('66-'70) uses a GM bellhousing with a common GM ball stud.

    Not an expert by no means, but did run across these while researching to rebuild my T90. Not sure if they will work.

    would be nice if they did however those are the garden variety GM pivots that won't work.

    Maybe rebuild it by welding on material and reshaping with a grinder/flap disc.

    Keys5A is correct, its from a 71 one piece bell housing. I ended up using the two piece so I could get different length studs and also a clutch fork boot.

    I’ll see what trouble I can get myself into with welding onto it and reshaping.

    if that fails, I’ll get creative and see what I can cobble together.

    thanks for saving me from searching for something I wasn’t likely to find.
