I'm installing a model B engine in my 1934 pickup. It seems to have a model A type flywheel and pressure plate. Which clutch disc should i use? I bought the one that supposed to be the right one, except the inner part of the clutch disc seems slightly big to fit in the clearances provided by both fly wheel and pressure plate "holes." I am also using a model A type of collar for the throwout bearing.

Another option I have:

I also have a v8 style presssure plate which i thought of using, in place of the model A style. this seems like it will accomodate the clutch disc more easily. would I then use a v8 style collar to hold the clutch throwout bearing?
if anyone has expertise in this area I would appreciate your advice and knowlege, thanks jerrod =:O)
 
You should use the B flywheel, which is recessed like the V8 flywheel and which I think uses the same pressure plate, clutch and TO bearing and hub
as the V8 for 1932-34. Trying to use the Model A stuff might create extra problems that I am sure you don't need.

BTW: The clutch housing for 33-34 (46- part number) is not the same as 1932
in case you didn't know. Ditto the front "timing" cover, front mount, pulley and waterpump, and fan and engine radius rods. Maybe some other stuff I can't think of ...zzzz
