A-1 Clutch Co. - Ever heard of it? Got parts catalog?

I have about 70 brand new clutch discs and pressure plates. (140 pieces)
They are no good without a catalog telling what the part numbers are.

Been on the shelf in the auto store since the 80's and now they are in my shop. I am thinking there are some oldies in there, but without a catalog-?

I have not been able to find anything online concerning "A-1 Clutch"

I know there is an old catalog out there somewhere

Thanks

 

Ai was one of the best reman clutches
they were bougbt out by A1 cardone

 

A1 Cardone sounds more like a merger. Maybe run some numbers with theirs via the Rock Auto catalog?

 

Thanks Jandlcars. RustyNYer, nothing on Rock Auto, A1 cardone does not do clutches.
I know there is a catalog out there, I just need to find it and then it will be.... CLUTCHES FOR ALL!!

 

I will buy a clutch disc if your price is reasonable
I can send pics and measurements

 

I see some of the boxes look to have 6 digit part #s ,those as I recall are Borg numbers. The 5 digit ones are Long I believe. Perfection used 3 and 4 digit numbers with a CA or CD prefix. Don't have any old clutch catalogs ,sorry.

 

Could you post a couple of part#'s

Thanks all, here are a few part numbers, some plates and some covers

p48609
p48604
p281228
p381034

x47236

Those 5 digit ones may be import. One cover in the picture in your first post looks like a import style. Ya had here in PH I could probably ID a good share of them by measuing and looks.

 

Tomorrow I will have a couple different GM flywheels, a ford and maybe more, plus a few input shafts, from a friend of mine.

I am gonna open boxes, find any matches, and scrap the rest.
Easy come, easy go.

Thanks for the help.

 

maddog, the parts store I retired from still has a paper catalog for a-1.......PM me a list and i will go down and ID them for you...
Easier than opening them up and trying to match them up,.....

281228 9-1/16" x 1-1/16" spline disc
381034 8-1/2" x 1-1/16" spline disc
360023 8-1/2" dia pressure plate

These are from the 1993 Borg Warner clutch book. If they are the same, maybe I could help. If not, you might want to see if there's a clutch rebuilder that wants some of them?

 

I found an A1 clutch & brake in Kentucky A-1 Clutch Rebuilder
2911 Coral Ridge Rd
Brooks, KY 40109
502-957-2029 and if that don't help you might try an independent parts store for any cross reference. I hate tossing good parts out just because I don't know what they fit.

 

And the power of the HAMB comes through again !!

 

Holy cow!!
What a score that would be.
In my searching I was at a small store specializing in 55-72 Chevys, picking up a light switch for a 57 wagon I am rewiring and I thought to ask there. He tells me " Oh yeah, A1, my buddy has a stack of them and same thing, cant find part numbers"

This will be worth some $$ for you. assuming I can sell them, and I think I can.
I will make the list tomorrow.

This is great news, I hated thinking of scraping a few hundred pounds of new clutches, made in USA.

As for the guy at Mikes Chevy, I will wait till I flood the market with clutches before passing the numbers onto him.

The Hamb does it again, with your help Dave. Thanks.
