BADA BING! (Mostly)

Mine is definitely Black with the sticker.  I think the paint and sticker are factory/oem. (Nobody would put the sticker back on.)It appears that somebody might have been re-using a box since the PN on the box doesn't match the appearance of the Bellhousing in the Catalog.    
That catalog link is gold!  Wink There is even a notes section on the SFI which tells which pivot to use.  

Now I go see if it fits a SR4 that is sitting in the garage...

I am still looking for an older catalog that shows the T10 offerings.  You never know what type of info the catalog might have that might help with set-up or confirmation that what you have is correct.  The clutch fork pivot and set-up can really help with the drivability of the car.  

If you don't believe me, try driving one that wasn't set up right.  I had a 6 cylinder 3spd Javelin that either had the wrong linkage in it or the wrong bell on it.  It never engaged well.  I replaced the pressure plate/clutch/throw-out Bearing and got the same action.  I was very disappointed.

I would think that Lakewood has to pay a fee for each SFI certification and they can sell unlabeled bells for less.
They may even be seconds that don't meet SFI spec but are dimensionally ok. 
Bought my first Lakewood in 1975 and still use it. Never even heard any mention of checking runout back then, guess they were quality checked better back then!
