Hi all,

"yes"....I have tried searching, but still unsure.

I'm about to purchase a new clutch kit for the Formula S I recently bought.
Rock Auto lists a few kits that are all around the 10 1/2" type, but....... my manual says that the Vals and Barrcudas had 9 1/2".
I also see comments about needing a larger bellhousing for a 10.5 unit.

Just wondering if anyone can give me a simple answer, and whether it's better with the Borg and Beck PP, or really doesn't matter that much ? I'm restoring the car and don't intend racing.....just want it to run right.

Thanks,

Peter
 
9.5 was the stock size. IIRC Brewers offers(ed) a scalloped 10 in clutch set that fit the stock flywheel and bellhousing.
 
This is what the Auburn style 9.5” clutch looks like.

I have done the swap on my 1967 Barracuda, you can replace the Auburn pressure plate with the 10” Borg & Beck pressure plate and 10” clutch disk.

The 10” B&B pressure plate uses the same flywheel, bellhousing, z-bar and clutch fork. The only thing you will need is three extra shouldered bolts to hold the pressure plate to the flywheel. Brewer’s has them!

I have allways thought that was the goofiest looking pressure plate ever. I have the 10" scalloped kit in mine. Works great.
