These part numbers work for a new 164 tooth flywheel with zero imbalance and drilled for both 10" and 11" clutches for Ford internally balanced engines such as the 240 and 300 i6.
It has been awhile since I put the 300 in my 84 f350 but I believe the bolts for fastening the pressure plate(PP) to the flywheel are 5/16-18 and by looking at the service manual it says to torque them 20 to 29 ft-lbs I believe this to be true. In racing applications the long/Ford 11 inch style clutch mounting holes are drilled out to fit a 3/8 bolt. We use 3/8 studs to mount the PP with close tolerance to keep runout between the PP and flywheel to a minimum. On 5/16 stuff we even counterbore the mounting hole 1/8 to 3/16 and let the smooth shank of the bolt locate the PP.
I said all that to say this when replacing a PP make sure the hole in PP is no bigger than 1/64 of the shank of the bolt. 5/16 screw = 21/64 hole, 3/8 screw= 25/64 hole. A 25/64 hole with a 5/16 screw will let the PP move approx 5/64 to one side and cause an imbalance.
Just my experience ron....................
