But you're right, you never know with these aftermarket bellhousings.
What about the clip on the clutch fork? Did Ford produce several styles of pivots and forks?

I am not sure if Ford made different versions of the clips. You have the same set-up I had on my 428FE and toploader. Is it possible the arm is over extending or pivoting incorrectly? My fork did not have the metal clip attached to it, but was the same shape and style as yours. I think you should contact
http://www.4speedtoploaders.com/ and ask David. He would know about the fork and clips.
