I have a 340 Exciter engine that I am in the process of rebuilding and was wondering bout the primary clutch. I have been told to use a comet on it and I probably will when the budget allows. In the interim though I have this clutch and plan on rebuilding it. I believe it is a later engine as the clutch requires the 20 mil clutch tool whilst the earlier models were 18 mil. I have never been a fan of comets, seems the cat guys are forever rebuilding them and my experience was not good. Is there any updates or mods that I can do to this clutch when I'm freshening it up? The engine is going into a custom 1970 SS 338, so this is already light years ahead of the clutch it came with but I'd like to have my youngest Son drag race this little beast some this winter and want to give it the best advantage I can. I sure would not be opposed to a little stiffer spring, but is there anything that can be done with weights on these clutches? It looks the same externally as a 440 Exciter clutch so I am guessing there is, or was mods available. Suggestions? Recommendations? Thanks.
