Default Asking for a favor

A little odd request. I would like the members here to help me comprise a list of all the possible causes of clutch chatter. I have had a high compression head on my bench that I was planning to install, when I had the engine out to chase down the chatter issue. Recently my daughter planned for the car to be in the wedding, and I was planning to drive the car to the venue. With all the hills around here I went ahead and put the 6-1 Snyder head on the car to make the drive to the venue a better trip. Wow, I am so pleased with the performance gain. But the chatter is alive and terribly annoying. So after the wedding I plan to go all out and get the problem solved by pulling the engine out and starting with checking the flywheel housing alignment. Please help with your experiences and I will try everything.

Looking for cause and resolution. Thank you kindly guys and gals.

P.S. the car has a '39 tranny Clings modification with a lightened A flywheel and Long style clutch. Clutch and flywheel were professionally balanced by a very reputable shop.
