Thanks Alfa. No,since yours is stock all should be well. From what I can gather,the Barnett and the APE kit I was looking at are designed for the standard SOHC clutch,and work just fine in them. But if you have a F2,F3 or (not sure on this part) a 76 Super Sport (F1??? is that right?) then the clutches are slightly different.

I'm still a little fuzzy on the actual details,but apparently the later clutches have mods to them to help with clutch chatter. I keep seeing terms like "disc a" ,disc "b" & ""disc 1","disc 2". Not sure what that means,but it is where the kits have a snag. people are able to correct the kits using a mixture of other 'standard' parts to correct it,but I just dont understand the lingo yet. I'm getting my google on tonight and see what I can dig up.Just by looking at kits on ebay I noticed some are listed for 69-78 k  and others have a separate part number for 76F and 77-78 F2/3. I'm seriously considering just shimming my springs for a temporary fix while I get all this sorted out.Once the oil is hot it holds just fine. my springs are quite old ya know.36 years old.
