32 - 34 as a unit with the flywheel . The intake is 34 . ADDING Walt is right in the next post . In a march 34 parts book the pressure plate shows 1928-1934 , the disc shows as 1929 - 1934 & the flywheel is 32-34 . The entire unit is 32-34 but you did ask only about the disc & PP so my bad .

I think that's the same pressure plate as a Model A. 34 was the last year of this type. Walt

Same disc fits 29-46 ford-at least in Canada.Your engine also has the 33-36 dist.Quite common to find multi year parts on a given engine.

could you use the flywheel with a later cover plate?

that's a model a pressure plate. When using them be sure to adjust all the clutch fingers so they are even from the top of the clutch cover.

No - unless you have it modified . the newer style cover plate bolts to the flywheel's face with 6 bolts spaced in pairs .

From my 34. How are things in Santa Rosa ? I used to live in Petaluma & then Valley Ford.

things are good, it cold in the morning then it worms up to about 63, we still are behind in rain

That is a early spring operated clutch outfit. Later clutches were combination spring and centrifical and in my opinion much better. The faster the engene went, the harder they held. A much smaller pressure plate could hold as much as a great big spring operated rig.
