Ok! I have a partial answer to the why my disc was wearing away so fast. The local clutch shop honed the surface and redid the springs back to the 2,100 LBS. Turns out the presure plate had fallen to 1,200 LBS. That brings out another question. With no signs of heat, Why did the spring tension fall off so much? Do the springs just get old and give up?
If there is another McLeod 12" presure plate for a Ford FE with a higher spring load, what is it's part number, what is it's spring load, and how much wil it cost?
