A833 + clutch question : 68 318 engine

Alright thanks for the feedback, really appreciated as that's complete new territory for me right there :)

So, steel flywheel, and McLeod clutch.

Yellow Rose, what is it that you mean by BB/Long Cover ? BB is Big Block I guess. Long cover refers to what? Not sure I understand the 2200 pounds of pressure (is that the clutch spec?) and counter weight?

McLeod makes a hybrid Borg and Beck pressure plate with Long pressure plate release fingers. Very nice pressure plate, especially at high rpm shifts. Call McLeod. Yellow Rose is also right about balance. Nearly every pressure plate I have balanced, is off. My 273 is also internally balanced. I balance the flywheel, then the pressure plate with the flywheel. I pretty much balance everything, including front brake rotors. Makes for a really smooth running car.
