You need the plate, stuff like this happens. Fix it right and you'll sleep easier.

A time saving trick you may already know: Hang your pressure plate and clutch disc on the input shaft, stab the transmission, bolt up the bell housing and then start your pressure plate bolt sequence.
NHRA has had an exemption from the normal rules that required a roll bar between 10.00 to 11.49 seconds, along with the required SFI jacket, etc. in place for 2008 and newer production cars that are 100% stock for quite a few years now.
It's so bad at one track they divided up the no Box, NB or footbrake. The footbrake guys were whining that a trans brake(even bottom bulb) is an advantage. Yadda, yadda, yadda. I can't run in NB, because I use a line lok. WTF is that about? Ya, it is an "advantage"? Say what? How the hell do I hold my car from rolling without using a line lok? Needless to say I don't run there, except when the stick group does and we run out own program/rules.
Bob,Now that would be a fun ride.
I had a FED in '76 with a Boss 302 and C4. Ran 8.90's at 154 all day long. Too slow for A/ED and canted valves kept it from being C/ED legal. Fun car. Ended up with an all aluminum 418 ci Cleveland and went 7.60's in '78.
