Its actually called a Borg&Beck/Long hybrid. The Long fingers are installed in a Borg & Beck cover, and I believe rather than use the Longs counterweighted fingers, they used the Borg & Becks roller counterweight inside the cover. I never ran one, but I understand the Long style forged levers have a faster ratio than the B&B versions stamped steel levers.

I have a couple of these pressure plates, in my collection of clutch parts. This pressure plate was conceived on some poor thinking. I would look for something with new technology. A lot of things have changed in clutches, . Be careful if you use this clutch, especially with the clutch material, rag or sintered iron. Do , some research, but the clutches have changed over the years, and this clutch was made with old thinking. Good luck

WOW!!!
Thanks for all the great info men!
I'm even more confused now lol
The disk is sinitered iron,the complete clutch came with the Nash crash box(no syncros)
The car is an ex-Modified 65 vette with a high comp.ratio tunnel ram 355"
It will see a little street driving to local cruise nights/car shows and a few visits to the strip.
I'm trying to work with all the old crap that i have on hand on a somewhat limited budget(as crazy as that sounds)

For what you want to do, just use the parts you have and add a ClutchTamer to the mix. Not only will the car be far less likely to break parts, but also very likely to be quicker than it was before.

It's really going to be tough running that crash box on the street, I'm interested in your thoughts after you get it going.

It may be worth a shot to give Roy Storey a call. He was the clutch guy at Hays for years. I’m sure he could do something with it. His number is 216-333-4900. Mention my name if you call him. Good luck with the project!

Back in the day every thing had a crash box. No semi truck trans had synchros. You just have to know how to drive.
