Clutch ID

It is simply a long(ford) style clutch with a cover with 6 extra bolts for strength. It does not have centrifugal assist levers on it, but you could simple change those if you choose to . I put a thousand or more runs on a pressure plate like this in my G/S 305 camaro, setting the record numerous times. I would keep backing of the pressure with the spring adjusters until it slipped a little going into 4th gear and then adjust it slightly tighter. If you cannot get it light enough with the adjusters, take it apart and remove 3 springs and try it again, or get lighter springs. If you are driving it on the street, back off the pressure and try it.

To answer your throwout bearing question, hays,mccleod, ram all did offer a bearing assemble for this application.Probably still available . It is simply a long style throwout bearing for a GM trans. The long style bearing is bigger in diameter where it contacts the levers.Some times if you have a GM bearing you can buy a regular ford bearing and press it off the collar and press the GM one off the collar and press on the long/ford larger one. Usually you need a tall style collar

hope that helps
