My Model A flywheel currently has the V8 clutch, and at first glance it may need bit of attention.
I have heard of a GM clutch being used with our Model A's.

If this is a not uncommon modification, is there any advantage to that clutch over the V8 clutch?

What clutch is used?

Will my Model A flywheel that is modified for the V8 clutch need any additional machining other than properly located mounting holes?

Does the Model A throw out bearing system still work with this mod?

Is there a clutch disc that fits this clutch and the Ford input shaft or does the input shaft need to be replaced?

Thanks in advance for any experienced input and any other things I may have not questioned.

Peace, Phred
