I was just kidding my dad on the sissy sticks! Imagine how much HP it would take to pull that heavy front end up a few FEET! Yikes!

I'm considering that CFDF clutch but I can't find an 11" 18-spline disc !!
Part# DF071800 for the complete assembly Part# DF384071 for the disc only I just bought a new assembly and used these numbers. 'Was going to use the old cover and just buy the disc, but changed my mind.
What sort of power are you putting out? This is the problem buying clutches, they rate them as "street, "street/strip", etc but in reality this is meaningless.
My motor is a stroker in the 600 hp range, mainly street use in a '69 b-body. I currently have a Hays "street" pp with the hays "street/strip disc". Since the motor isn't in the car yet I'd rather sort this clutch issue out now.
Thanks.

So, I take it you're slipping the tires a bit on the launch to soften the hit on the drive line? I'm glad to see the 18-spline is living at over 600 HP. Awesome car, btw. Love stick cars.

Centerforce is no longer producing 18 spline discs so whatever you find is old stock.I got the "backorder" runaround when I was looking for a new CF DF disc so I ordered a new McLeod 600 series disc from Jamie Passon. I'm gonna try the Centerforce II plate with the McLeod 600 series disc and see how that works out Gus

Called Jegs and went to the counter at Summit and NEITHER store had the 11" 18 spline dual friction disc in the stock. That is when I called Jamie and he didn't have any left and told me why. So I ended up with the McLeod Gus

The plate I got from Summit was on the clearance and return tables.In the store they put all kinds of stuff out there, some scratch and dent items and some wrongly ordered parts. When I bought the plate I walked up to the counter to buy the matching disc and they were on backorder according to my sales "professional". So I then asked about the DFX disc and they told me it would take 6-8 weeks for my order so I said no thanks and called Jamie for a comparable disc. Gus

Yeah Larry that was early summer when I was considering changing my clutch and transmission for the summer. But then the stick race was announced for Norwalk so I left the race setup in it for that race. Hindsight being 20-20 I might have been able to drive it home with the new clutch instead of that f-ing Ram disc that failed Gus

There's a thread over on UMTR with a racer that had the exact same failure of a Ram disc as I did. Gus
