Need help with Model B flywheel to trans setup?

[jerrod1932]

I'm installing a model B engine in my 1934 pickup. Im using a flywheel out of a 1934 that had a B engine in it, and pressure plate. Which clutch disc should i use? I bought the one that supposed to be the right one, except the inner part of the clutch disc seems slightly big to fit in the clearances provided by both fly wheel and pressure plate "holes." I am also using a model A type of collar for the throwout bearing.

Another option I have:

I also have a v8 style presssure plate which i thought of using, in place of the (what looks tobe a model A style). this seems like it will accomodate the clutch disc more easily. would I then use a v8 style collar to hold the clutch throwout bearing? I know this is an A forum but some of you guys really know this stuff and probably could assist me.
if anyone has expertise in this area I would appreciate your advice and knowlege, thanks jerrod =:O)

I don't know about the 34 trucks or their transmissions. I do however use a model B 1932 flywheel in one of our model A's it is about 18 lbs lighter, it uses the same clutch pressure plate, disc, and throwout bearing as the model A and no modifications were necessary. Some of the bigger trucks used a larger clutch disc. good luck.

I just did this in my 32 Model B pickup. You should use the 4 cyclinder 32 - 34 hub with a new throwout bearing and pilot bearing in the flywheel. Now is the time to replace the ring gear. To bad we can not go into the old barn posts, this was covered in great detail a while back. E-mail me if you need more help.
