Default 1986 Clutch Replacement

Just bought an 86 C4 about a week ago. Drove the car home from an hour away and when I went to move it the next morning, it wouldn't budge. Doesn't stall when you let the clutch out in gear either. Knew the clutch was slipping beforehand, but didn't expect it to go that quick. With that being said, what are some good clutch replacements? I don't plan on doing to much to the car, so it shouldn't need to handle a ton of power. Thanks

I got mine from RockAuto. it's a LUK, they're make in Brazil. No issues so far and my car is not stock.

Which transmission is in the car? Is it still the old 4+3, or a later ZF 6 speed? If 4+3, how is it being controlled by an LT1 ecm? Curious.

my recommendation is to use luk, but, use factory flywheel.

on an 86 4+3 i had, the luk flywheel i bought was not balanced! so annoying. i pulled it out again and put the original flywheel back in and vibration gone. i hand sanded the flywheel minimally with 100grit.
