The AMC flywheel is different.  The use of the 11" flywheel even required
the use of allen head bolts.  Standard hex heads interfered with the clutch
disk.  The pressure plate bolt circle on the flywheel is only 11-3/4" or
12".

what about the 13" clutches?  the lineset for my B182 indicates it came with
a V-345 gas engine, T-35 direct in 5th transmission, and 13 inch clutch.
how many springs are in one of those clutch plates?  i haven't felt it yet,
but i bet it's pretty stiff.
