This is my first manual 60’s car and it definitely needs a clutch. Car is a 68 Firebird 400 with the original 4 speed. The car has headers, edelbrock intake, brawler carb and an unknown aftermarket cam from the 70’s. The car also has a 12 bolt with 4.11 gears.
The car seems to run strong for the little bit I’ve driven it (sat for about 40 years). Can anyone suggest a good replacement clutch? I don’t need anything extreme, just something a little better than stock that will survive some spirited driving. The car will probably never see the track. Thanks in advance, Jeremy |

ditto on Centerforce
make sure the flywheel is freshly cut and break the clutch in,no burnouts or slipping it for 500 normal miles.

I run a Hayes street/strip kit and Hayes flywheel on a 420hp/ 485tq 400 with an M20 and 3.90s . It has 6’000 miles on it and has been excellent. No chatter and good pedal feel .

I am using a rebranded Centerforce that American Powertrain sold me with my trans kit. It was their house brand when I bought the trans and it was obvious what it was and now that’s what they sell so you do the math lol. It works great and is easy to drive.

I have a centerforce dual friction, it’s fine, if a bit heavy on the pedal. Slips nice.
If you’re looking for something on the more affordable side, lotta guys say the Luk clutches hold up to some romping
