Can you reccomend a shop in the area to have the flywheel resurfaced?

I live near you so something in northern Macomb County, etc.

Just about any good auto parts store can send it out for you, or you can try Heads-Up Racing in Mt. Clemens, (586) 461-0099.

Would this be the correct item:

http://www.corvette-paragon.com/p-35...-assembly.aspx

Paragon Number: 1568K
Includes Clutch plate, disc, throwout bearing assembly and pilot bearing. 1963-71 w/327 & 350,(10 3/8") 1966-69 w/427 (10 3/8")

This plus getting my flywheel resurfaced should be everything, right?

Comes with pilot bushing and throw out bearing.

Yup, that'll take care of what you need.

That looks like the same clutch kit I put in my 67 SB.

While you are there, you might take a look at the clutch linkage for any worn or deteriorated parts. You might anticipate replacing the clutch boot, anti-rattle springs, clips and other small parts for cosmetic or operational reasons while you are doing the clutch.

Just a thought
