Thanks, and thanks to all who have responded.
All that's left is to find out the stock thickness, and to measure what's in
there now to determine what thickness to order. Anyone know the stock
thickness? (Currently the endplay measures .012" using a feeler guage.)
S.P.

  Steve-

  It can be done in-car without any great tribulation.  Drop the center main
cap & push the upper halves around one at a time(one out, one in, repeat).  Be
sure to check your end float with a dial indicator.  You may have to mix &
match standard & oversize to get the desired clearance.  If that turns out to
be the case, always put the heavier thrust washer to the rear as that's the
one that gets the most loading from stepping on the clutch.
