Default Clutch/PP Recommendation

I'm looking for a recommendation for clutch and pp for my 66 GP 421 tripower, Muncie m-20, about 470-500 lbs torque ...

a friend recommends the SPEC brand and I also looked at LUK and Centerforce ...

I'm looking for street ability and longitivity ... I drive fairly quick but I'm not pounding the clutch very much or racing.

The one that was in the car ... Viteon ... was working great but I've got putting on it in only 500 miles and it was brand new at the time.

My engine leaked oil and wet the clutch and flywheel. Pitting on the PP and hot spots on the clutch. I'm going to have the flywheel lightly recut again. I was told that getting PP recut is hard to find guys today.

I just want to get this right and get "carefree" deriving time.

Thanks in advance

P.S. just spoke to Centerforce and they don't have anything spec'd for the 421 ... they buy the Viteon and upgrade it and call it a Centerforce ... kit # CF523516

I'm attaching pictures of what my current stuff looks like.
