Default Model "A" throw out bearing
Getting ready to do a clutch swap on my "A" and wondering what everyone is recommending for a throw out bearing? Seems like there is a myriad of choices. Looking for a suggestion on bearing brand and supplier. Recent experience with your chosen bearing would be great as well. Many thanks.

When you look this up on NAPA's site, It says that it does NOT fit the Model A.
What's the deal?

Boy, I do love the zerk fitting!!!

I looked N1613 up in my bearing interchange and it shows the same as A-7580-B (Model A number).

That's real good Bob, that zerk fitting really does it for me. I wondered why more
cars don't have a zerk?

400A,
Try contacting South Shore Bearings in Quincy, MA https://southshorebearing.com/
Ask for a recommendation or give them a bearing # as a cross reference.
Cheers
