replacing Clutch

Greeting and happy new year.
I'm search for information on the Clutch Alighment tool. I'm not sure on which on to get.

Thanks.

Any new clutch Ive ever bought, has come with a clutch aligning tool. Is it different for Vette clutchs?

I've only done a couple of clutches but I've always done without it. Just don't tighten the clutch bolts up and use the trans to align things. Then back it out and tighten or just tighten it up by spinning the flywheel/clutch.

I replaced the slave last April but I didn't mess with the clutch. Still, it looked do-able. Not looking forward to it though. Hopefully it will be someone else's car when it needs one.
