Try these guys. I have sent discs in for rebuild/relining with the Kevlar linings. They seem to hold up well. Mostly street use. |

440Ramcharger makes a good recomendation.
I have just used a centerforce system. (Engine discription below) So far so good. Holds well. The pedal is weird, compared to the old feel. Seems to engage a little quickly as before it didn't. Pedal effort is damn near stock. Not so with the Hays/Mopar units. |

RB do you have semi metallic disc? if so it gets thicker when hot due to expansion,to remedy where it engages adjust right after doing a burnout.Personally I hate diaphragm style clutches especially if your doing alot of holeshots and gear banging I like the 3 finger style of borg abd beck pressure plate,they are indestructable and rebuildable but require a fair amount of left leg muscles but I developed my left leg muscles early in life(at 18 I had a 69 RR 383 4 spd)so it doesnt bother me,my 65 Valiant has a 3600lb p/p in it,.........PRO.....

Thanks PRO
It would be the better unit advertised form them. Gold I think is right. (Still early morning yet) I'll give it a shot when the time comes, soon I hope.
I had the MP unit (2) rated @ 3600 (I think) Lbs. It DID build up a good left leg. I was a bit upset when one didn't last the summer. The other last a couple of years. But hey, thats the brakes. The CenterForce unit takes a little getting used to. Has a weird feel to it, with a funny engagement. Quick like. Grabby. Since this is the first one from them, I didn't really know what to expect. Just different. Thanks again |

Stay away from the Center Force. Mine lasted about 3 months before it slung off 2 of the counterweights. Same thing happened to a friend of mine with a '69 440 Super Bee. We both currently have Ram assemblies with no problems.

Thanks for the info. ! more question. Can I use the 11inch stuff?
I'm really sure that I can but am double checking. BTW I am going with a company here in town who is making one for me. Thanks again. |

11" Clutch depends on your flywheel. How big is it? How many teeth? What is the Bolt Circle dimensions for the pressure plate? There are the true 11" Clutch setups and the scalloped 10.95" setups which bolt to 10 1/2" clutch flywheels.
