Disc is too thick. You may need to shim the pressure plate or get a thinner disc.
Just because you think it won't make it true. Horsepower is KING. To dispute this is stupid. C. Alston

Can't get disc in backwards, won't fit. Then why did my McLeod clutch disks come with a sticker on them that said "engine side" ?

Depends on the diameter of the recess in the flywheel where the bolts reside, if the diameter of the recess is large enough the disc can be installed backwards...thus the printed warning.
On most Mopars and on most discs the spring hub is too large to fit in the flywheel recess.

I've seen this before when the flywheel has been cut too thin. It might be time for a new flywheel Gus

I had the same problem with a clutch that I bought for my 69 Dart. The fingers also hit the springs in the disc when I pushed the clutch pedal all the way down.
I too was told by many that I must have installed the disc in backwards, but I found out that would have been impossible as the disc hub would not fit into the recess of the fly wheel.
I took the clutch back out and measured the static height of the pressure plate and found that it was set too low for the thickness of the disc that came in the clutch kit.
The pictures show the difference in the clutch plate height that I had when comparing the new pressure plate to the old one I took out.
