[DeTomaso] what clutches that work with the ZF?

[Ken Green]

Sorry, I'll be more specific.  
 
McLeod lists a diaphragm pressure plate and disk (PN 75211) for 68-77 Mustangs, ect. on their web site.

What Mustangs are you referring to?  The 1970-1973 351C-powered Mustangs
used a 164 teeth flywheel with 11" Long style pressure plate.  5.0L-powered
Fox body Mustangs (1987-1993) used a 157 teeth flywheel with 10.5" diaphragm
pressure plate.  I'm not aware of any 11" diaphragm OEM Mustang applications.

My guess is that this specific pressure plate does not have the weights that can come out and hit the inside of the bell housing, but I'm not sure I believe that you can't use the Mustang 11 inch diaphragm pressure plate, and on a previous visit to McLeod, another tech there recommended the 11 inch diaphragm pressure plate.  I also know at least one Pantera owner using the McLeod dual disk clutch with no issues.
