    If it uses three sets of two closely spaced bolt hole patterns then its one of the Long type pressure plate styles. If it has 6 evenly spaced bolt holes as a pattern then it's a Borg & Beck 10-inch. It seems like somewhere on this board there are measurements between bolt holes for the 9-inch, 10-inch, and 11-inch Long type clutches. It also might be on the Certer Force web site. If its for the older pre-war and wartime engines it could be set up with a 9-inch pattern. Most of the later pre-war and wartime engines had the 10-inch but with Shiefer, it could have been set up to fit the early V8s with the 9-inch clutch. The flywheels are about the same and will interchange within the engine types with the bell housing as part of the block.
