Some question regarding Clutch install
 
I will be tackling the clutch install on my ss in couple of days. I will be installing OEM Clutch and Flywheel. These are the following question I have:
1. Do I need new pilot bearing? Does it need to be removed?
2. Do I need special tool to line the new flywheel?
3. Is there any special tool to line the clutch and flywheel?

Any suggestions for clutch install?

Here is a link to an install I did a while back

How many miles on the car, regarding the pilot bearing?
Clutch kit should come with an alignment tool
Basic hand tools, good mechanical ability and a strong friend go along way with doing a clutch job on these cars

70k miles. Can I just put new flywheel without taking pilot bearing out? Where can I find torque numbers?

With that kind of mileage I would change out the pilot bearing. You can reuse the old one but I personally would not. If the car had 10k miles or less then reuse it.

74lb/ft 3 passes 25,50 & 74

How do I replace that?

Blind hole puller will get the pilot out.
The flywheel needs no tool for install.
The 26 spline clutch alignment tool fits single disc installs back to 26 spline clutches in the 70s. An old input shaft works easier. But if you wobble the plastic tool so it is vertically centerEd and tighten the bolts , it will work.

pack grease in the pilot bearing hole full, put in a bolt, punch, etc that fits barely in hole and give it a good whack...usually pops right out....good luck
