When I bought the car Hot August Nights 1999. It had a 7/8" dia. Tilton master cylinder for the clutch. It's volume would only afford a verry minor free travel and just barely release the clutch. That is how the adjustment got away from me in 2001. I've since stepped up tp a 15/16" dia Tilton master cylinder and I can now have a little more free travel and complete clutch release. Same pedal travel and a little more foot pressure. I'm looking through the new McLeod catalog and noticed their Street Twin disk for a Ford 427 1 3/8" x 10 says N/A all accross that line. In McLeods catalog the RST Street Twin series kits are said to not include fly wheel, saying that their kit will fit my fly wheel, but going to Summit website, McLeods RST Street Twin 12" disk kit #64304B-00-06 for Ford 427-429 1 3/8" x 10 includes a steel fly wheel and is supposed to hold up to 800HP and sells for $1,069.69. What happened to the concept of the RST Street Twin clutch kits fitting my existing flywheel? A diaphram pressure plate is shown in the RST Twin Disk setup. How does a diaphram pressure plate compare with the Long Style (Ford) pressure plate? Any insites?
