I've used Sachs clutch kits all my life, even when I was doing clutches professionally. They're as good as anything out there. The most important part when it comes to clutch life is your left foot.
Many will say not to bother having your flywheel resurfaced. I say, *****, you're already there. Do it right. Any other wear parts, like your clutch fork, etc. well, take a good look. A clutch job is not an easy job. Do ya wanna tear it back apart? Didn't think so

This is pretty close to what the Sachs clutch kit I got for my '59 looks like (second one from the left, bottom row).

The last clutch that was put in i can tell you that it was not done right at all because reverse was never smooth and had a burning smell every damn time cause u had to ride it to get it to work.. i called the shop on it and they stated that i needed to wok it in as it is new... here it is 13 years last and REV, still not worth a SH#T.. i only drive it about 1000 mile a year.
so when you say that after market are not that good.. well the one i had put in is crap.. thats why i need recomendations on good ones that will lasst.

Not sure of your clutch size. Do you have a 10" or an 11"? Looks like if you have a Y block and 10" you may have to go to a different brand.

Since you only drive it 1000 miles a year, I assume that means you can have it apart for a while. If this is correct, tear it down and see if you can find what you need at a local parts store. If you can't, try a place that specializes in clutches. I found a stock replacement at Carolina Clutch when I was looking 5 years ago or so.
And if all else fails, you can look into having yours rebuilt.

The last clutch kit I put into a 66 352 has the "new" diaphram release. My first thought was how too soft it feels, like a worn out pressure plate. I think an old term for the feel is "mushy". I prefer the feel of the old springs. I hope it out lasts the old spring style. I will not bet either way on it.
