" I measured the T-96 input shaft as 1.00" largest OD.

hmmm...  i've most often seen it spec as 15/16".

" I assume also that all T-96's are the same

afaik this is true.

" Performance Clutch has parts numbers (yours, above) for the 8's, 9's, and 
" 10's.

i recall finding them at partsamerica.com, when i searched on the
perfection part numbers.

" Has anyone on this list actually personally installed the 10" clutch with 
" the socket head bolts as suggested? Does it really fit? And what does it do 
" to pedal effort? The 195.6OHV doesn't really need a strong clutch! 

a stock 196 would not really need a stronger clutch, but a bigger disk
will last longer...  i put a conventional 10" pp [early '70s amc part,
not knowing about the mopar then] in my '66 american in the early '90s
and pedal pressure was virtually unaffected.

" Currently it takes TWO FINGERS to operate... nice... and I still remember 
" the monster clutch that was in my 69 S/C Rambler... no thanks!

that was a monster motor.  this pp was hd for the slant but stock for
the 273, mopar's smallest v8; it would not have an outrageous pressure.
