I tried to get one done a few weeks ago at the place that did them before and they will no longer do it. They still have everything, the jig to set finger height with mics and everything, but they just sell new now. Did you try Lincoln Clutch and brake ? Myself I love Centerforce clutches a lot less stress on the linkage frame side mount etc. We have installed a butt load of them in the last 20+ years with only one issue which was a mismatched PP and disc.

No, I was just being lazy I can do it myelf in a press and using a valve spring compressor, but just wanted to pay someone as their setup could give me pressure and set the height in minutes, I wanted to use up what I have as it is a new mopar green with the good eyebolts. As others have said the centerforce just feels wrong, like the timing is off in the 10.95 application for lack of a better term. The dual friction 10.5 works pretty nice. Tempting for sure for the leg as I get older.

Hmmm, interesting, I didn't think it would get to the point where B&B is not common. Maybe I should have saved all those B&B covers !
70 Sixpack, how much did Mcleod charge ? $75 to rebuild it and $125 to balance flywheel to the pressure plate.

I have taken several apart as I investigate orig clutches and pressure plates. With the clutch press which I had available, taking apart is not hard. You will probably find it may have been rebuit before, or the plate may be in poor shape. Beware there were Heavy duty housing, levers and eyebolts. Thicker metal and larger eye bolts. Also there were high grade pressure plate. Most likely they will be warped and possibly bad heat spots. If warped significantly not worth having it machined. The plate may also be thin from a prior rebuilt. You can test springs like valve springs and early service manual has the spring spec. Make sure you document how it comes apart. Look for cracks in levers, worn pins, eyelets, pressure plate, etc...
I had 2 plates redone for Hemi specific 101/2" housing. Have reenforced plates for the rollers. It was a fun exercise, but I would not put it in a drag car.

I know that rebuilding is cheaper, but I think buying a new one is a better choice. I agree but Mcleod doesn't make my Borg and Beck pressure plate (360153) any more.

Ram and others still have them in normal and competition grade, but I have no idea if the roller assist is there if you want new stuff.

https://www.rochesterclutch.com/Talk to Sammy - he speaks mopar. Do it correctly Get a custom clutch from RCB - you can specify how heavy a clutch pedal you want. 2800lbs would be fine for your application and easy on you buy the 6 paddle disc with the metallic pucks and never look back- the only caveat is the bell house needs to be dialed in very close to 0.0000 I have used RCB clutches - nothing better sogtx has one of RCB's clutches with the 6 paddle disc behind a alum head 505 6 pak [A12 car] attached to a passon 5 sp with 4:10s...ask him
