: Go for the 10" unit, found in most Vans,

: The trick with selecting the pressure plate is

My '66 Valiant had a 10" clutch in it when I got it. The guy said it was for a Taxicab application. It bolted right in. aschumers@aol.com

I just grab them off of Trucks / Vans when I see them in the yards. Truth is that you can get away without them if you use a real thick lock washer and the hex points don't stick into the disk. (position the "flats" towards the disk) DD

I have heard that the truck/van bellhousing have more room for the bigger clutch but obviously there is the question of how well it fits and how well parts interchange with car 4spd parts (particularly clutch linkage etc). rdb787@mail.usask.ca
