John,

You did well to order up the McLeod clutch. I supply clutches and drivetrain parts to almost every combination out there, including vintage Mustangs like yours.

The first thing I would double check would be if the TKO has the short input shaft installed. That has to be done to let it work with the depth of a factory Toploader bellhousing.

The 11.5/12" McLeod diaphragm pressure plate is a good choice. I would pair it with a 260173 or a 260573 (if you're over 500hp) disc. You can use a 16031 throw out bearing with it and I usually spec a 16932 clutch fork as well. You should have no issues with your setup.

If have any other snags, feel free to post here. There are a ton of savvy guys on here that can lend a hand/ear. Feel free to give me a call at any time as well.
