RE: Re[2]: [ihc] Pete's AMC 360 swap

My stock clutch was a 10.5".  I used an 11".  I don't remember what the
rating was on the pressure plate from the J30.  I would know if I could find
the paperwork.  The 11" clutch is the one that will not hold.

Thanks, Pete, for the response.  I'll check out your BB post.

What size clutch did your 258 use?  My TA is equipped with the 11" 6
spring clutch with 141 lb pressure springs  vs the other 11" clutch
using springs with 124 lb pressure.  The 10.5" was standard, with
two 11" clutches being options, mine being optioned with the heavier
duty of the two 11".  So I don't think I would have the same problem
that you experienced with your clutch.
