Thanks for the replies everybody.

-No pivot ball
-pivot bracket was correctly installed
-I can't run the bracket without the spacer Brent because it 1) too low, the arm cannot move anymore and 2) the bracket would hit the register ring (the spacer is curved to compensate for that problem).
- only one spacer came with housing, and it is too tall. When I bolted on the spacer and the bracket, there is only 1/16-1/8 of clearance between the top of the bracket, and the pressure plate housing.

I measured it tonight and there is only 1.5" of distance between the top of the pessure plate housing and the end plate of the bell (where you mount the tranny). i can't even use the Kirkham arm because there is not enough space to properly fit the arm in there (using the supplied botls etc...)

I believe the root of the problem is the height of this pressure plate. I need one with a smaller profile.

Pics coming up tomorrow morning.
