GMAN,

I just installed a new Hays performance clutch this weekend and my instructions on the clutch and pressure plate said 15-25 lbs of torque. My Ford FE manual indicates 12-22 Lbs of torque. My pressure plate sits flat on the flywheel too.

Once you get your pressure plate mounted finger tight run your finger around the edge between the pressure plate and your clutch to make sure the clutch has the same amount of clearance around the edges of your pressure plate while you still have your alignment tool still in your pilot bearing. If you seem to have a little more in one area than the other push your clutch with your fingers to center it a little better. Tighten everything down as Jim suggested.
