Clutch questions (didn't want to hijack other threads)

[skep419]

I've got a 1969 Dart 5.9 magnum, 1634 Oregon cam/Hughes 1199 spring kit, Ede air gap intake, Holley 750dp, Dougs D453's. I read a couple other threads about using a clutch tamer and making sure to use the right clutch (correct clamping pressure for the HP). I'm currently using a Centerforce Dual Friction clutch/pressure plate (2.66 23 spline A833), 8 3/4 3.23 gears. At the track using 245/60R15 cooper cobras it would either bog or blow the tires off (no chance of recovering) I figured with the clutch I was using the street tires would save the driveline. Would like to order some slicks so I don't have to keep driving around the water box, SCARED hahahaha.

Next year I'm planning on using my other transmission (64/65 3.09 gearset with the 3.23's) or my other 3rd member with 3.91 gears.

Will the clutch tamer work with the Centerforce clutch disc (should I buy a organic only disc or a different clutch kit all together)?

Using an old Lakewood scatter shield, adjusted freeplay with the pedal. Should I be drilling a hole and busting out the feeler gauge?

Thanks

@weedburner will have some good input here.

I’m gonna say with those tires it won’t matter much what you do on the clutch side of things and tuning a slick will be all together different. Pick one and focus on that.

If you take it apart and the pressure plate and flywheel look good (if not have the flywheel turn and a new pp 2600 to 2800#), then throw away the dual friction disc and put an organic disc or a Ram 900 series disc in it, and a Clutch Tamer( follow Grants advise on how to set it up) and go have fun. The 3.09 first gear and 3.91 rear gear along with the right clutch and Clutch Tamer is going to really improve your 60foots and ET's

First time slip was with the 727 and slicks last year.
