Notice the position of the clutchfork ballstud. It's in the upper 1/2 of the pad. This was shipped to me by an eBay seller after assuring me it was the correct bell (his camera was conveniently broke/these are my pictures)- it obviously is not correct and was returned. This is one of the reasons I've created this album. enlarge 110KB, 750x678 464697/469697 The 464697/469697 is probably the  most difficult to find of the A/G Body bellhousings. This is for an 11 inch clutch/168 tooth flywheel. The 10.5" 462606 bells are much more common. If ANYONE knows for a fact-why some of these cars (and which models) were delivered with a 10.5" clutch and others came with an 11" clutch-I would appreciate an email . I've been told the 11" clutch was only delivered with the 350 engine which was available to the public only in an El Camino/Diablo. enlarge 118KB, 750x720 464697/469697 enlarge 108KB, 750x811 464697/469697 This is the unique marker for the A/G Body bellhousings-The pad will show the actual last 3 digits of the casting number, if it's the correct A/G body bellhousing. The other '697' bells will have 621 cast here, as it is a replacement for that bellhousing. enlarge 76KB, 750x561 464697/469697 enlarge 87KB, 750x596 464697/469697 enlarge 120KB, 750x647 464697/469697 enlarge 87KB, 800x600 464697 enlarge 86KB, 640x480 Photo courtesy of Darryl M Gilbert In over 6 years of parts hunting/scrounging, I have only seen two of these 469697 bells. This one, which is in D.M. Gilbert's '78 El Camino, and the other in my son's '78 El Camino. enlarge 92KB, 750x562 Photo courtesy of Darryl M Gilbert 469697. This bell and the 464697 are identical, but for some reason the 469697 is less common than the 464697. enlarge 77KB, 750x562 Photo courtesy of Darryl M Gilbert 469697 enlarge 22KB, 400x300 464697 This is a "regular" 464697 bell.

The upper clutch rod will pass through the hole (1 1/2") that the Cruise Control harness once passed through. If your car does not have cruise, and this hole has not been punched-there will be a 'dimple' where the hole should be. enlarge 491KB, 800x600 This is the firewall on my 1979 Malibu....no cruise control so there is no hole. Notice the dimples - the dimple pointed to with the white arrow is where the hole for the upper clutch rod needs to be. The two black arrows point to where the holes for the attaching screws for the boot need to be drilled. enlarge 61KB, 640x480 Engine side of firewall. enlarge 52KB, 640x480 enlarge 59KB, 640x480 enlarge 32KB, 640x480 enlarge 56KB, 640x480 Even though this is an '83 (no manual trans available after '81), the 3 holes to mount the Z-Bar frame bracket are present. enlarge 34KB, 476x586 Frame Bracket Photo courtesy of Marc Hichens.
