68 clutch help
I'm making the final preps to drive my car for the 1st time!!! 
I know that I'm missing the clutch arm that goes into the bell housing to grab the clutch bearing, but I do not know what else I'm missing. Anyone have a diagram/instructions for the clutch assembly from the pedal to the clutch itself?
Thanks!

Unless he has the wrong bell housing! If he has the correct bell housing, he will have to take it back down to install the clutch fork… Your are correct, there is not anyway to do this with the correct bell housing.

Bart -do you have the ball stud in the bellhousing?You will have to slide the new clutch fork onto the stud.I dont think you can do this with the bellhousing in place.You should just remove bellhousing and start over.Dont forget to grease the ball stud.Did you put in a new pilot bushing?Hmmm this could get out of hand.Maybe you should start a thread and discribe just what you did-you might have forgotten some things-stop now and maybe the guys can get you straightened out.

Thanks guys...I'm trying to figure out what all I'm missing parts-wise. I'm trying to put together a list. I'll obviously need to drop the tranny and remove the bell housing. Practice makes perfect, right?
I've also discovered that I'm missing parts to hook-up the shifter linkages. I'M SO CLOSE! YET SO FAR, it seems....back to work

Hey, all
Got the fork installed, yup pulled the tranny and the bell housing and started over. i should receive the remaining clutch assy parts anytime now from ecklers (ordered last week). i ordered all new parts except for the fork, the pushrod from the pedal and the crossmember. all other springs, spacers, seats, and fork rod are going to be new.
i'm really hoping to be able to drive it for the 1st time this weekend. i'll also need to install the l/r rear brake line blocks and bleed the new brake system.
