Mike,
That information has a lot of errors in it for the Alpine. Here is the
truth on Alpine flywheels/clutches/splines/assembly pins/clutch release
arms/slaves:
Series I - Flywheel (8", 2 assembly pins), Clutch (8", 6 coil springs),
Splines (course), clutch release arm (short pedestal, large carbon
bearing), short slave
Series II - Flywheel (8", 3 assembly pins), Clutch (8", 9 coil springs),
Splines (course), clutch release arm (short pedestal, large carbon
bearing), long slave
Series 3 - Flywheel (8", 3 assembly pins), Clutch (8", diaphram spring),
Splines (course), clutch release arm (tall pedestal, large carbon
bearing), long slave
Series IV (up to B94100001) - Flywheel (8", 3 assembly pins), Clutch
(8", diaphram spring), Splines (course), clutch release arm (tall
pedestal, large carbon bearing), long slave.
Series IV (Late) - Flywheel (7.5", 3 assembly pins), Clutch (7.5",
diaphram spring), Splines (course), clutch release arm (tall pedestal,
small carbon bearing), long slave
Series V (up to B395017308)) - Flywheel (7.5", 3 assembly pins), Clutch
(7.5", diaphram spring), Splines (course), clutch release arm (tall
pedestal, small carbon bearing), long slave
Series IV (Late) - Flywheel (7.5", 3 assembly pins), Clutch (7.5",
diaphram spring), Splines (fine), clutch release arm (tall pedestal,
small carbon bearing), long slave

Everyone check Rick's catalog, he pretty much lays all this out in the
correct manner.
