I used C-0649-1 from npd.

fYI- Make sure your crank is drilled for pilot bearing.

Don't let them try to pawn off a chevy pilot bearing. They are totally different.

Just bought a pilot bearing for my '68 Firebird. Got it at O'Reilly auto parts. National Bearing 7109. Cost was $22.99.

Every crank I've ever seen is drilled, auto or not.

Someone told me that somewhere around 72-74 and up cranks from a auto were not drilled. I don't know cause I've only seen a 70 auto and it was drilled. I have heard people starting a swap and invested in parts and then found out the crank was not drilled for it.
