#9787069 64-72 Buick, Olds, Pontiac

General Motors Part # 9787069 Clutch Release Fork

The "069" was the OEM Fork for most, but not

all, Buick, Oldsmobile and Pontiac 4-speeds. One

notable exception is the 71-72 Buicks with 455

Engines and Stage 1 packages.

               Looking toward engine 

This fork has a unique throwout bearing and pivot

stud retaining spring, and has "ears" on the push

rod end, that is used for Oldsmobile return spring

bracket.

                  Looking toward rear

The "096" fork has a straight centerline from the

bearing retainer through the pivot stud pocket to

the lower push rod pocket. Approximate overall

length tip to tip is 10 3/4".

                             Curve

Even though this bearing yoke is straight it isn't

flat. It has a 1" curve at its highest point.

                            Spring end

The bearing retention spring has a crease between

the attachment rivet and the pivot stud "ears".

These "ears" are also much shorter then they are

on the standard Chevy spring. 

Reproductions

 They did a nice job on the retainer spring.

Factory correct applications are your responsibility. GM made part and part # changes with no rhyme but a reason (no production interruptions at any cost).
Application charts and part numbers are for replacement parts that were available at the time of parts book printing.
My observations come from the parts I have in my collection or other reliable sources your parts may differ.
If Factory correctness is your goal, do more research, join car clubs,
 forums and buy an assembly manual if one is available for your Project Car (you wont be sorry).
This is a fun and interesting part of the hobby!
