    That depends on your throwout bearing, disc, and flywheel, not the trans. Are you adapting it to something else? What?

    My Lasalle trans is adpated to a Ford flathead with an Offy (I think) bellhousing, and it uses a Ford throwout bearing and front retainer. So it uses flathead Ford clutch parts.

    You're in luck. A stock early Olds flywheel used a long style pressure plate like many years of Ford engines did. They're easy enough to find.

    You said it is currently bolted to a Rocket. So what do you need beside what you already have?
    If the clutch and plate are shot, take them into to a REAL parts place and have them match it up. In many cases you can find part # on the oldies.

    Im using a 37 LaSale behind my 324 and had no problem getting everything I needed at a REAL place called Robbins Auto Supply out here. Most of the counter guys at all their stores have gray hair or none!
