You call yourself yellow ? (rose)
Your coming on way to strong, way to quickly. And to be honest all of your help got lost in your attitude.
let us recap- shall we ?
First I've never seen you on this forum and your telling me what I BETTER learn to do ?
And what to learn, what to look at?
You talk about streetable ? I only drive it on the street to test to make sure new parts work before I go to the dragstrip.
I'm sure your wife drives your car and I hope she enjoys it! My wife has her own and works on it and enjoys it (66 barracuda)
I think you're starting to get my point here that I'm not trying to make an enemy and I sure appreciate all of your help that it seems like your trying to give. please reread what you've written and read it as if its being said to you and see if that's the way you like being talked too?
I'm not going to be put in my place by a forum newbie and that's that! Let's work this out and help each other that's what the forms for.

hi, actually, you need to learn about clutches and how they work! base pressure, c/w, lockup rpm. flywheel weight. it all matters . the more you learn , easier it is. I have ran 4 speed duster for 38 years now. I had very little problems. I ran b&b/long pressure plate for years, kept lowering the base down, car went faster, then went to a softloc, far better setup. also, I ran the 833 trans for 30 years. I had it proshifted . means there are dog rings welded to gear, last far longer and stronger versus a slick shifted gear. the sliders were same ones from the start. the thing is, most guys put in the stiffest clutch and break parts, and will not change &. they keep breaking more parts!!! one guy talked about stockers , all use a good clutch, they launch very hard & fast!! if you keep the 8 3/4 then you should think about heat treating the ring gear to soften it up , will triple the life of it.
yes it does work. been there before. thing is guys are trying to educate you. that's how you learn. you do have to sort out the bs from the truth. BTW, I'm not newbe!!!
