Clutch fork question

Hi all. I put a 390 in my rogue and I put the original 4 speed behind it. I'm having a clutch issue. The clutch fork seems to hit the edge of the clutch fork opening in the bell housing, so the pedal doesn't travel as far as it needs too. My rogue is a 1966. Do I need a different clutch fork, or a different bell housing? I'm using the original bell housing to the car. If this sounds confusing I can post a pic tomorrow. I'm guessing that the clutch forks or the bell housings may be difference between 1966 and 1969? I've checked and double checked all the linkage and everything is fine. Thanks for any help.

i can't speak for the V8's, but even for the sixes there seems to be a lot of throwout forks. i think it's one of those parts the factory changed to make things fit. makes sense i suppose, it's a relatively cheap stamping.

flat or angled (to change throwout 'depth') and also offset, to accommodate pushrods not on-center inline.

I'm confused.  From your description you started out with a 1966 Rogue 4-speed with a 290 and did nothing but replace the 290 with the 390?

Sounds like your clutch fork is the off set version that I have run across. That is what I call it, original would dead center, where the clutch adj. rod pivots into and the center of the other end where there the throwout bearing rides would be a straight line. Just confused myself LOL LOL,
