Check all you can before you install. What's up with the crank bushing or are you running a bearing? Might be a good idea to indicate the bell in if it hasn't been. The FSM has directions. Free downloads at MyMopar.com Unfortunately, just because "it's new" doesn't mean no issues won't arise...

First thing I'd be checking for is a loose pinion nut.

Do you know if the bell housing was indicated in with all attaching bolts torqued to spec? I've heard some clutch covers can have conflicts with bell housings. One point is mentioned in the MP bible although it's a small block comment.......... Some bell housing info here may be...

Same on '71 but omits "-3-2 bbl." wording. If it helps, this is the 6 quart pan dimensions. Is this what you have? If yes, IMO, just run 6-1/2 quarts, remark the stick and drive the wheels off it!:steering:
