1961 Ford F100 292 3-Speed Clutch Help

I having trouble finding the correct pressure plate to correctly. The truck does have the original 292 and three speed transmission. Dennis Carpenter sent 10" clutch and pressure plate,which is correct for this application? Splines match transmission...However too small diameter for flywheel. Napa lists only a 12" for this application... splines match transmission,and diameter is correct for pressure plate...However,holes are off about 1/2 of a bolt hole???

Any help would be great thanks...

Splines match transmission. However too small diameter for flywheel. Napa lists only a 12" for this application, splines match transmission and diameter is correct for pressure plate.

However, holes are off about 1/2 of a bolt hole???

10" clutch: 1961/64 F100/350 223 I-6.

10 1/2" clutch: 1961/64 F100/250 292.

11" clutch: 1961/64 F100/600 223/292.

12" clutch: 1961/64 F350/700 292.

Original 292 flywheel with either a 10 1/2" or 11" clutch should have (6) 5/16" -18 pressure plate attaching holes on 11 3/8" & 12 3/8" bolt circles.

PM the dimension of your bolt holes. I have a very good 10 1/2" clutch assembly. It is a rebuilt unit that was on a parts engine I have. It shows very little wear.

When I was going through this, nothing from the usual places, local parts stores, classic Ford stores, etc, fit. I got the correct clutch from a place that deals in clutches, Carolina Clutch. There may be a place closer to you.
