Clutch Help
I think I might have wrote down the wrong info Doug gave me for the clutch I need. He told me (i thought) to get a centerforce dual friction inch and one 16th by 26 spline, 11".
I tried to order one from JEGS and they don't have the specific one and they said it is not listed in the CF cat. Any help? Did I take the wrong info down. TIA. |
I use a Centerforce 10.5" w/matching pressure plate. Just make sure your splines are correct.

TIA:
I'm using a Weber clutch and pressure plate. 11" with a 26 spline shaft. Weber(Phone: 714-630-2171) Pressure plate: 360501 Clutch Disk Disk: 11” Diam. 260871R (This is their Aluminum and Kevlar Disk) Throw out bearing: BCA FA-01477-CA (NAPA Part Number) DonC |
Thanks guys.
Zoera, when you coming down to show me your car now thats it's on the road? |
I've been to a few cruise nights lately...maybe I'll get down to the beach in West Haven this Sunday evening. Where in Milford are you?
|
I'm north of rt. 1 right off the Wheels Farm Road exit on the Merritt parkway.
|
How far along are you on your build? I heard you took delivery of your car some time ago.

I'm ramping it up now, had some personal issues I had to deal with - Dad passed away. The car has kind of been medicine lately.
I am very close, probably 2-4 weeks to completion. Motor is ready to go to dyno and I have been gathering all the last bits, pieces, screws, nuts and bolts to finish. I'd like to have the drive train in by next weekend assuming I get it back from the dyno. I was promised either Friday of this week or Monday of the following. Then I can really go to work. Even if we don't hook up I'd really like to talk to you over the phone a bare minimum so I can prepare for the inspection. Your more then welcome to stop by my place as well. |

Looks really nice...lots of original engine parts. Is a dyno really necessary? I know you built the engine for the street, and putting it on a dyno will cost you at least a week. I'd just spin the oil pump to get your oil pressure and install it. Just my opinion.
Sorry about your dad. |
I'm dyno'ing for one reason, I don't want any problems after I put it in the car. I really don't care if it has 300, 400 or 500 HP, just want to do the best I can to break it in and make sure it is 100%.
I understand your point and I appreciate your opinion. My problem is I'm not a super high end engine guy by any standards so I rather be safe then sorry. |
An engine test stand may be sufficient to get what you are looking for without the expense of a dyno. dyno-ing has benefits but since you are not interested in exact numbers, and more interested in functionality a "run-in" on a properly equipped stand may be the trick.
that way if you have issues, gaskets etc that are not behaving you can address them on the stand--- prior to spending x hours getting the thing in the actual engine bay. --Steve PS cool color on the bodywork! |
