Hows it going dudes? After many years of drag racing on a pro series, my father and I stopped. Recently I have picked up an interest in vintage sleds. I obtained a 73 Scorp Sup. Sting 440 that was laying dormant in my uncles barn for 25 years, and with a little elbow grease I got her running like a top.
Last week I set my "SS" up for ovals, and lets just say Sunday was a light night in the garage "FIXING" the spoils of racing.
My track slid off the rear Idlers, the plastic lock bushing that connects the inner/outer shivs broke, and blaah blaahh.
Question: Do I pan the internet for clutch parts, or do I upgrade my clutch? If so, will a Power Thrust II fit on a 73? Or a Com. Duster?
Thoughts?

The only real choice is a Comet clutch 102 series. Anything else is obsolete. You will eventually end up with it anyways...might as well start out there!

If I was to go to a Comet 102C, would I have to change belt width/lengths?

Yes, you will need a clutch designed for the Scorpion belt width and length. The Comet can be adjusted for different belt widths

Thanks for the words of wisdom sir! I think I'm going to opt for that comet on ebay. Then its a matter of testing in tuning with different belts, springs, and arms/cams.
Thanks again!

Put a 102C on it. You'll have a vastly greater tuning capability with that.
You'll need to get the tools to take that clutch apart as well as you need a special "grunt" tools so as not to hurt yourself taking it apart.
I am pretty sure Polaris weight arms and springs will work in all of the 102C's as well.
