I have a chevy motor in by B and I dont seem to be getting the clutch linkage travel I need. I thought in some distant memory that the CJ's with V-6's had torque tubes that were clocked different than the F4's

Yes infact there are 7 different clutch "lever and tube assemblies" for the various CJ applications.
8-1/2" Rockford clutch control for T90
8-1/2" Auburn type clutch control for T90
9-1/4" Aubrn clutch control for T90
8-1/2" Auburn type clutch control for T98
9-1/4" Auburn clutch control for T98
10.4" diaphram type Borg Beck clutch control for D-225
10.4" three finger type Borg Beck clutch control for D-225

Please identify your clutch diameter, the finger type, the transmission and the clutch manufacturer.
Obviously the only ones close to your application are the D-225 clutches.

I may have an extra lever and tube assembly that's available.

Learned this the hard way when I had a 8 inch clutch tube in a jeep with a 9 inch clutch. Absolutely could not get the clutch adjusted until I swapped in the correct tube -- after that the clutch adjustment and shifting was like new.

It's just my luck that something good is going to happen to me today.

Its actually 12" diaphram(bellhousing No. identified it for truck big block) so I guess the 10.4" diaphram is closest.

PM me if you have one to sell. Zip code for shipping estimate 95689

Still need to know what transmission. T90 ?
I suspect you may need to fabricate a custom lever and tube assembly or convert to an Advance Adapter chain roller.
I could fabricate one but I would have to see the throw out fork.
Also it would be trail and error to get the levers to the correct length.

I'll check to see if I have an extra D225 clutch control.
