Re: Clutch and flywheel question

Keep in mind that a 12" clutch actually measures 11-7/8". This had me confused quite a bit when I was replacing my clutch.

The 12" clutch goes on the 168 tooth flywheel. There's no extra space on the flywheel with that clutch. I can't imagine a 14" clutch fitting there.

The summit racing catalog lists 3 or 4 manufacturers of clutches for sbc/bbc engines. Each manufacturer lists 3 different strengths of clutch kits. Frequently, a stock replacement clutch, a higher clamp force clutch, and a double disc clutch. I got a stock replacement Ram clutch for my 350. It worked excellent.

Pay attention to the spline count of your input shaft when ordering.
