I have the king cobra pressure plate with a mcleod 800 series clutch disc. The pedal feel was considerably lighter than what I had in it before. I think it was an OEM pressure plate.

I don't like my kc, it is not real old, and it feels like it is already slipping a bit.

I've used several Centerforce Dual Friction's on 302's in my 67, and have loved them. I've found it to be very reliable, long lasting and strong performing, at least for my light car with a n/a 302. I'm pleased with them though
