Found this in the back corner of a friend's garage today. Unfortunately I don't know what I was thinking and I did not get an overall picture of it. The more I read in the archives the more confused I get. From these three pictures can anyone tell me if it is a Corvette part or what its actual application is?

Based on the casting number and date this is a cast iron bell housing. Yes passenger car and Corvette. Corvette mid 1956 thru the end of 1956. For 1960 the casting number changed and it was made of aluminum. -

I believe this bellhousing casting was used for passenger cars, trucks and Corvettes. However, there was a difference between the Corvette bellhousing and the other applications. This involved the clutch fork ball stud. The passenger cars and trucks used a ball stud with 7/16-20 thread and an external hex flange installed from the inside of the bellhousing. The Corvette application used a ball stud with much larger 13/16-16 thread which utilized an internal hex drive and installed from the outside of the bellhousing. I don't think the two are interchangeable.In Appreciation of John HinckleyComment

Thanks Joe. I will pass this on to my friend to check out the ball stud. We have no idea of where it may have come from. It was in a pile of other leftover stuff from one of his son's projects. The son does not remember where it came from either.Golf is for those who can't play hockey.Comment
