1979 L-82 clutch question

[vetteboy79]

Hey everyone -

Unfortunately I have to replace the pressure plate and clutch disc on my '79 L-82...looking through Eckler's, they sell a nice kit, but it comes in either a 10.5" or 11" size. Can anyone tell me what size I need to get, without having to take apart the whole clutch assembly and bellhousing and whatnot? Thanks in advance!

All '73-'82 small-blocks with 4-speeds used a 168-tooth flywheel with an 11" clutch.
