I am looking for recommendations on good clutch & PP for my 18 spline A833.  Should be 10.95" dia.  Want B&B style.  Any suggestions?

If you are not overly concerned with price then I think it is hard to beat the Centerforce unit.  They work very well for a more-or-less original type car.  Nice easy pedal effort.  If you don't want that, then Hays would be my next choice followed by Ram.  I've used McLeod's in the past, but have had bad luck twice with McLeod throw out bearings.

Not certain on the horsepower but engine supposedly just has mild cam.  Running stock intake and exhaust manifolds with stock iron heads.  Gears are 3.54.  Tires are Cooper 275-60R-15's.

Stockish hp and torque with no-grip tires, i would buy whichever stock replacement is on sale at the best price if you are dead set on the bb style. You wont hurt it.

Thanks.  I'm guessing you prefer the diaphragm style over B&B.  Would consider it but not sure how hard it is to remove the pedal spring.

Its user preference. I like the centerforce diaphram clutch. But on a stock motor and street tires anything will work. I abused mine with high rpm launches on slicks. The spring is not hateful to remove, safety glasses and a big bar.

Pedal spring is held in with a pin that drops down / back into a slot. Pedal to the floor to release most of the tension, may need to pry the spring loop forward a bit, pry the pin forward and up ... to get it out of it's keeper slot and pull out.
