Question Clutch, Pressure Plate and Throw out bearing

Pulled my 68 out of storage 40+ years afterand need to replace the clutch. Any guidance? Dont need anything too grand but dont want junk either. Looking at the Zoom Perfection Kit
at Rock Auto for $110? Good? Junk? Saw something on ceramic. Been out of the game so not sure about that? Thanks!

Unless you're running big horsepower the stock replacement parts should be fine,that kit is probably fine.
Be sure to have your flywheel resurfaced and replace the pilot bushing and all the bolts on the flywheel and clutch assembly preferably with new quality bits like ARP.
The bell housing and trans bolts can be reused if in good condition with maybe a little blue Loctite on the threads.

I like a clutch that is still a street clutch but uses composites Composite/Hybrid for the clutch material. They can have 80% increase holding strength and last long.

Check out my 67 wake up thread in my sig.
