This may be completely off base but pilot bearings were a NIGHTMARE on gasser engines. once the assembly grease got hot and ran out the bearings would fail almost right away. pulled a trans twice in my corvette because of a pilot bearing failure in about 500 miles. bushing has been in the car for over 50,000. just my 2 cents.
found it! for future reference...
NAPA p/n 6203FFA.
Non-NAPA p/n 1635DC.
its 1.75" OD, 0.75" ID, 0.5" width and $18.49.
SINNER,
according to Quad4x4.com, bushings are worse than bearings (or atleast the Kevlar bushings they tried)... http://quad4x4.com/Dodge%20Engine%20&%20Clutch.htm#Heavy_Duty_Ball_Pilot_Bearing. but the stock needle roller bearing and a roller ball bearing are in leagues of their own, the ball bearing coming out WAY ahead!
