Post pictures of your flywheel with a tape measure across it..

Most likley it's the right one.. They only have 2; The car one and the mondo truck ones.. 9.25 and 10" clutches fit on the car one with no problems.

You can also use a 9.5" clutch for a 273 car. If you want a serious upgrade Spec Clutch has some very high torque capacity 9.5" clutches with diaphragm covers which require less effort and travel than Borg and Beck clutch covers.

Actually, Borg & Beck made or maybe even still does a 10" clutch and pressure plate that will work with the typical 122 tooth flywheel. I have two of them, one going in my wife's Dart Sport and the other a spare. They're not rare or unusual and I've seen a few new ones on ebay as well. If you want something that'll work well and take some serious pounding, contact Tim Hyatt at Hyatt Racing 440.254.1311. He can build or modify just about anything you need or might have a desire for. Hope this helps...wb

Dont use the Borg and beck 10" PP if you plan to do any racing...
More on that Here:
http://www.slantsix.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=13007

And they are also readily available from napa, rock auto , Advance, parts america etc..


You have to get a 10" clutch plate to match.. again, reaidly available.. They have the same bolt pattern as the clutch and PP that you just took out.
