Kind of taking a survey of guys who put in a tkx with the stock bellhousing.........i know you have to measure to be sure, was thinking of getting the .007 and .014.....thinking i should be in that zone................was hoping you guys who done this could post what you had to buy.

Or just buy all 3 sets from RobbMc and go from there...............66 Gto

Thanks

Not a TKX user, but it's not really a TKX question so much as standard bellhousing alignment. If the stock dowels are still there, set it up and measure it. You'll know for sure then.

I hear ya Scott...............just wanted to have everything ready when i do this..........seems like im waiting a month or so for parts lately...............

[grivera]

Do you already have the bell housing?

[gtorich]

Will, i have the bellhousing already, its been on the car for 20 someyears, stock bell.

[tom s]

Have only done TKOs but have never measured a factory bell.Tom

[Scott65]

Did you indicate it in then? If so, you should be good already.

[gtorich]

Scott, i think im confusing you guys, i have the motor at the shop being rebuilt, i have the tkx at my house along with my bellhousing............im assuming i need different dowel pins........the way everything has been going with this car, its probably off.

Im just gonna order the 3 sets .007/.014/.021 that RobbMc sells , that way im covered.

I was indeed confused. Thought you were doing a transmission swap. Your plan should indeed cover all the bases. Good luck with it.

I bought all 3 sets to have them on hand and then returned the ones I didn't need.

All makes sense now

[lust4speed]

The two stock aluminum bellhousings we did were near perfect and within spec just bolting things up. My old Lakewood scattershield alignment was terrible.

[gtorich]

Thanks for that info Mick................hope im that lucky on this.

My 64 has a factory style bell housing and needed off -set dowels- I bought it with trans installed so not sure on spec

[Formulajones]

I just set one up last week with the factory bell. It wasn't horrible but needed the .007" dowels to correct it.

I have another one here I use the factory bell on and it also needed correction.

[TB1]

When I did mine for the TKX and the factory bell it was all good with the .007" from RobbMc

[gtospieg]

I also needed offset dowels with the factory bellhousing...measure a few times and make sure you have repeatability before final installation.

[jkjudge]

Just did mine about a month ago, was .010 offset, used the .007 dowels got it within .003.
