B - 27.6 is ideal I have a D(41.1) in my 36 Coupe 221cu with 3:78 rear end … really nice on the highway . Also have C(37.9) in a 31 Model A also 3:78 rear end.

Yep

Sounds like the bendix may be stuck in the starter gear. Try putting in 3rd gear and pushing it backwards.

RIP Ol’Ron … Look forward to seeing you on the other side.. God’s Blessings to the family….

Sorry for the bad resolution… so with the clutch disc and PP fastened to the flywheel, measure from the top surface of the PP down to the finger surface/adjuster. Your looking for the following: 9” disc should be 11/16 ( disc is .340 thick) 10” disc should be 15/16 ( disc is .295 thick) 11”...

On the page from the repair manual below the picture 10” - .295 11” - .365

Check the thickness of the clutch disc. Most of the new discs are slightly thinner than the original. That coupled with an improperly surfaced flywheel and the PP not adjusted could can cause the clutch to slip/chatter.
