Clutch Recommendations?

[Patrick N.]

I am in the home stretch to drop my motor back on the frame and need to buy a clutch-could use some recommendations on what clutch I should look for or consider. I would like a car that drivable with a clutch that is not grabby?

The car is a 68 427/400HP (The cylinders were bored a bit over during the rebuild so it will push a little more hP, Trans is an M20 with 3:08 rear).

Any thoughts or POV are welcome.

thanks

Pat:

The archives are full of info on this subject.....but the summary is a LUK Rep Set or a Centerforce II. Both have excellent reviews.

A few others prefer the Hays Street Clutch, but this is more $$$ for not much (if any) benefit.

Be certain you have the correct size disc and pressure plate. I think for your car it is the 11 inch. Resurface and balance the flywheel and the new pressure plate assembly. Install a new Oil-lite type pilot bushing. Also, you want to be certain that the pressure plate is a diaphram-type, and that the throw-out bearing is the correct length. Archives has all this info.

Pat, the Luk clutch as larry rec. is good all around for a street driven car, some time the performance clutches have alittle more spring tension on the pressure plate.

Be sure and surface the flywheel.
