The other day I took a short piece of 2 x 6 and layed one end against the clutch pedal and pushed on the other end with my bathroom scale. It showed 45 # to push the clutch pedal down to the floor.

Every Halloween I drive a 1949 Chevy 1/2 ton pickup in the Anoka Halloween parade. The clutch is such a nice light pedal to push, and the next time I'm near the truck I'll have to bring my bathroom scale to measure the pedal pressure on it.

Just wondering if any pedal pressure has ever been published for the Model A stock single plate clutch? Thanks.
