VerifiedThe first thing is to determine what transmission you have. Does it have drive axles or a tube axle on the transmission.
Does the engine have a dual port or single port manifold. Duel port will have rubber boots connecting end pieces on the manifold.?
Did you replace the pressure plate too?
get back to me with info or you can post some pictures for me to look at.
