Advice on clutch

Looking for advise on who makes a nice " easy to use " clutch for a almost finished 66 442 that is going to be for the wife. I have heard that there are a few company's that build a system that is easy for her to use. Will be going to a 5 or 6 speed next year with hyd clutch but that's down the road.

I used an 11" centerforce II clutch when i converted my cutlass from auto to stick. Im really happy with it. It grabs hard but is still plenty slippable and not too hard on the left leg.

For a street car, the CenterForce II is perfect. Light pedal and grips well.

I actually use a stock 11" clutch and I can chirp the tires shifting in to 4th gear..... Way back in the day, when I used to hot rod my almost new 66 442, we used to use a stock clutch spec'd for a 427 Corvette. Very soft diaphragm clutch, but would grab like crazy when you wanted it to.

My preference is Hays clutch. In your application I would use the street clutch kit.
