and most importantly, how you drive you car. ( e.g. street/strip, street only, but I like a standing start, smoking hole shot is always fun, or drive it like Frankie the Fink, you know like a pussy. Jim

Ok, I am trying to give you my opinion on your questions, but I still do not have enough information to do that accurately. From what I have guessed, I would guess that you have a:

1960 basically stock drive train vette.
350 engine
4 speed
3.70 or 4.11 stock rear
mild cam
no Idea of how hard you drive your car and what distances

With that base line, I would think:
a 30 lb flywheel
2600 lb. pressure plate and organic disc

You mention that a " need to keep a softer pedal pressure without having to go to a hydraulic setup ". Why?? I know age and injuries can be a factor. I am almost 69.

If you really want a better opinion, I would need the following:

Cubic Inches
induction
compression ratio
cam specs , duration @ .050", lift and rpm range
heads
headers
exhaust system pipes and mufflers
transmission type and first gear ratio
rear end type and ratio
rear suspension type and traction devices

Hi Roger, I still do not know how much power your car makes and how well it hooks up. What is your final goal with the clutch and flywheel ? Jim

Jim
how do I tell what its made from? I will dig it out of my boxes and look closer and get back to you.. I ran this in my 64 nova back in the day
my 60 has a 355 sbc..

Hi Roger, aluminum flywheels are great if a car has enough power. It will launch better and rev faster. Ones with a 1/4" steel plate are best. That is what I run in my black car (15 lb. Ram ).

I do not recall what engine you have in your '60, so I can not say if it is good for you.

What is a 7 pound flywheel mad from? I still have my old nodular Iron 30 lb Schiefer Flywheel from the mid 60s. Not legal now. Jim
