Frankly, just about any OEM replacement kit, Pioneer, Luk, etc, will work well behind a 6 cylinder or stock V-8. AC Delco parts are imported like most others, but usually cost a little more. Just make sure you know what size you need -- 10.5" for 153 tooth flywheel or 11" for 168 tooth flywheel. There's a good chance you'll need to have the flywheel re-surfaced on a dedicated flywheel grinding machine, NOT turned on a lathe. That along with a new pressure plate and disc will work smooth as silk.
