Jim S.,
Does the S10 pressure plate work with a 215 Buick using a stock 62 Buick
4-speed?
What is the diameter of the S10 clutch disk?
Regards,
Jim B.

Kevin-

Pilot bush or bearing goes in the end of the crank . If you ordered a clutch
& pressure plate for a Chevy S-10 V8 pickup, you should be fine. Be sure it
is the fine spline, 26 spline, I believe. If you ordered the clutch for a
Camero, start the leg exercises tonight.
