        joe looks like the damping magnets in your tach need replaced as the needle is not very steady. JMHO car sounds great!!

          Joe, great sounding car! It reminds me of Side 1 of Zora's record. I really like it when the needle passes yellow to red.

            I cranked the volume up for my son. When I went into the kitchen to get more coffee, the wife said "What are you driving?"

                Very Sweet!

                Are you using the stock 30# flywheel or something lighter such as the L88 unit?

                  I am no longer using the stock unit, nor am I using the cast iron, L88 unit.

                  I am using an SFI 1.1 certified billet steel unit from PRW. It weighs 18 lbs.

                    PRW flywheel

                    I see PRW's warning statement about incompatibility with a stock-style clutch.

                    Then they seem to say that ARP bolts allow using a stock clutch. Lower profile head solves the interference?

                    What clutch did you go with?

                      Looks like you topped the ton easily!

                        Ram 98760 clutch kit. ARP 200-2802 flywheel bolts.

                        I had no intention of using neither a standard pressure plate nor a single friction material clutch disc. Most heavy duty clutch discs use 8 Marcel springs rather than the 5 found on standard duty discs. Using 8 springs allows the coil diameter to be smaller, enabling clearance between the flywheel bolt heads and the Marcel springs.

                        I did not try my old, standard Borg Warner clutch disc for fit with the ARP fasteners, but I'd bet that the low profile heads allow enough clearance to use a 5 Marcel spring clutch disc.

                        If you are thinking about using the ARP flywheel, be forewarned that its friction surface is ever so slightly further aft in the bellhousing than the stock, iron flywheel. This requires careful realignment of clutch fork pivot angle, otherwise your freeplay adjustment will be limited.
