[AMC-list] New parts

[Nick ALFANO <71amx@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi guys.  Haven't been on in a while but I thought I would bring up some new 
parts I have been working on to get some feedback.  The first is our Ampco 45 
cam and distributors gears are finished.  Ampco 45 is a very strong alloy used 
in high friction/wear gear application and is much stronger than our cast iron 
gear sets.

I have been working with a clutch mfg on various materials and designs for a 
while now and we are in the finishing stretch for AMC.  I am planning to narrow 
it down to 3 different styles I will offer.  We are also working on a new 31lb 
SFI billet steel flywheel and embedded heat plates for the factory cast iron 
flywheel.  I hope to have the flywheels in both the early 67-71 and later 72 and 
up crank hub.  I know how hard it has been on the early style guys finding a 
good flywheel without breaking the bank.

For the OEM + market, I will have a 200-400hp package.  I am debating on a 3 
lever plate like the OEM pressure plate or using my custom diaphragm plate but 
with a 1740 plate load.  Either way it will have a brass plus fiber style pad 
material for long life.  I am leaning towards making it with the better pressure 
plate and the sprung style disc.  It will add a little to the cost but what you 
get is an easier pedal to push and a smoother engagement that a stock style set 
up.  The difference would be around $40 between the two and should handle up to 
450hp with the upgraded parts.  What are you thoughts here.  
  
Next is a dual friction carbon and Kevlar on one side and Ceramic button on the 
other on a 360 degree sprung disc.  This will handle most 500+ hp street strip 
type cars with smooth engagement and great clamping force for hot starts.  This 
one will be a diaphragm 2550 pressure plate. For those who will need a little 
hotter set up with slicks we can do ceramic button on both sides.

The third would be an all out race clutch for 700+ hp that is strictly a race 
car.  6 puck design with an instant grab style disc and a 3000 plate  


All three will be a 5pc kit with throw out bearing, alignment tool, pilot 
bushing, clutch disc and pressure plate priced better than a Centerforce that is 
typically only a clutch and plate.  I am making both the long and short style 
throw out bearings as well.  


Let me know what you think.  Like always, I will have a pre-sale deal in the 
beginning.  Most likely in the next few weeks.

Thanks 
Nick
