Default Is money an issue??

RICK427 Rick, what kind of power is this monster have for output? I am looking at the torque reading, best guess?? IN the old days as other have said with high HP and torque readings, 2,800-3,200 pressure plates and you need 2 feet to work it.
Today a twin disc is the way to go. McLeod Street twin is great. It will hold 700-800 ft of torque and about the same HP. The clutch is quiet and soft with the pedal.The new Mustangs, Vipers, Vettes, and even GTO of Holden run them. Holding power, you will not find a better setup with basic discs. I have only run 1.5 season with mine and being hard headed can't understand why I didn't go to this setup when they first came out.
I got my kit from Brent B here. The setup was easy to do. The kit comes with centering tool and everything. My flywheel is a 184 teeth with multi clutch setups drilled for it. I can run an 11.5", 11.0", or 10.5". I don't know what kind of condition your flywheel is in, and if it can be resurfaced. Also what is the weight of it?
McLeod comes with a 22 pound flywheel and kit. Motor will rev a little quicker, less pedal pressure, and holding is there. Brent will give you the best price on the kit. Better than Jeg's, PAW, or Summit.
I have a 79 TA I am restoring and going with a street twin setup. The pedal pressure is lite enough even the other half can drive it. Good luck with your choise. This will be the last clutch you will need in this car unless you have an oil down from a rear main seal. Rick L.
