What Pressure plate will interchange to fit a 1953 Packard Clipper 4 door sedan 288 8 cyl
Should be a Ford of some kind

I would say any Long style pressure plate that uses the same size of clutch disc you have would fit. The best thing to do is take the old one to the parts store and have them match it up. I've done it before, but I don't remember what the part # is.

I tried , the part stores around here cant seem to find it

Look for a Ford, early to mid 60's, 10" clutch.

According to the PI Interchange book, your 2601 is 10" and interchanges with 1936/37 Cord, 36-39 Lincoln Zephyer, and 39-56 White trucks, models 99, 116 AND 200.

The Ford truck assy that interchanges with some Packards is 11" and carries the warning that it should only be used in an emergency as it is of significantly inferior construction.

OK thanks

Bo,

Here are some pic's from a Hollander Interchange Manual. Leave it to you to decipher it all.
