Default Clutch pivot ball ( HELP)

Can someone help me finding out the thread size and lenght of the block side clutch pivot ball. Could be 1/2 -13 but not sure. Purchased a factory new # 880 long block and the bung is not drilled out for the pivot ball
I want to make sure I get it right the 1st time !!
I have been internet searching for hours and can not find anything. I can't remove the one in my block until I remove it from the car.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I am almost sure of the size 1/2-13 I really need to have the length so I don't drill thru the block.
