" is this their current catalog?  to the '64 classic question, i see on
" pg. 4 that 9 1/8" disk rcf658 and pressure plate ca1676 are still
" listed.  and farther down the page, 10" disk -rcf446- [not 448 as i
" stated] and pp ca1864 or ca1897.  ca1576 for mopar apps would fit the
" 10" disk to a 196.  i believe you'd need socket head bolts instead of
" hex, because of clearance around the heads on this pp.

armed with part numbers, i checked partsamerica.  they're all
available, though with one exception without application listings or
cross-references.

9 1/8" stock clutch
	rcf658	$42
	ca1676	$48
10" hd clutch
	rcf446	$50
	ca1864	$54	fits 10.5" pattern
	ca1897	$40	fits 10.5" pattern
	ca1576	$43	fits 9 1/8" pattern

the cost difference to step up to the hd appears to be well under $10
even factoring new clutch cover bolts in, and that's as i recall.

it must've been the rcf446 and 10" ca1864 i used on my '66 and not the
10.5' ca1647 i first identified, as i clearly remember trying a 10.5"
pressure plate and finding it would fit but not turn after i installed
the bellhousing.  as i said, the only hitch i had was initnal
adjustment, but that may have been because i had the flywheel
resurfaced.  it was fine after a few hundred miles.

the ca1576 would also be the pp to use with the conjectured 196 - t5
adapter.  9" ford-spline disks are available, but 10" are very common.
