"Application"? What, do you work at Advance Auto ??

If I did I would ask for the year,make and model.
When they pull that **** on me I tell them......then they say that's not possible

God's honest truth, right there.

For better or worse, the answers to my questions so far:

Question #1:
I need to fetch him some offset dowels obviously and figured I'd get a pair of each of the three sizes, then send back whatever ones he doesn't wind up needing.
Are these dowels the 0.5" diameter ones I see referenced on Summit's site?

0.5" bad. 0.496 good. Brewer's or RobbMC only known sources.

Question #2:
As some of you may remember, I'm not particularly fond of the Centerforce Dual Friction clutch, especially in stop and go traffic (like parades, for example). I've gotten over the whole pedal position thing, but that thing is really an on-off switch sort of clutch and if you ride it any (like in traffic), it gets hot in a hurry!
The gentleman doing this work for me has a brand new McLeod disc of a more organic composition and I was thinking of just putting it in there instead of mine.
Will that work ok with the Centerforce pressure plate?

Forget all that. Decided I want a B&B type clutch, which limits choices.
Probably RAM 88504HDX I'm thinking.

Question #3:
I'm going to pick up the "new" rebuilt transmission in the morning. I don't know really what to check when I do. I mean, short of pulling the side cover off there in the parking lot, is there anything much I can do to "inspect" the thing prior to forking over the loot?

Too damn late now. It's bought and sitting in my garage.

Thanks for all the help and advice (so far) from those who chimed in!

RAM HDX series.

The mechanic will reinstall my pedal spring and I'll be a happy camper
once again - I hope.
