" Since posting last, I recieved an email from Randy Guynn, in which he
" states in part:
" 
" "The roundy- roundy racers have used very small diameter clutches for
" years. 9 inch down to 7 inch. These clutches hook up 500-700 H.P. on
" Sprint Cars. A small clutch such as this should work fine for AMC
" street power levels. 
" 
" Stock clutches will not hold that kind of power very long. These race
" units hold up fine. 
" 
" Small diameter weighs less and robs less power from the engine to
" swing."
" 
" Makes sense to me.  I'm sure there's a way to use one of these high
" performance type clutches behind the old six and it would hold up
" against whatever you could squeeze out of it.

that's right - i forgot about those!  i wonder if you can find them
already set up for the 9 1/8" pp bolt pattern?
