Talking Clutch

I just bought a 89 chevy longbed Scottsdale from the original owner. He even had the original window sticker with the truck! It has a 305 with 200,000 miles on it, and the water pump and the timing chain has just been replaced. I paid $1400 for the truck! My question is what type of clutch should I put in it? The clutch is slipping a little, and I would like to replace it. I called Advance and they had a kit for 109, but it was some generic brand. I looked at Summit and saw a zoom and ram clutch. Are these a good clutches or would you recommend something else? I do not plan to tow heavy with the truck, just a jon boat. I will post pictures later if yah'll would like to see, it midnight blue metallic.

Re: Clutch

Zoom, Ram, McLeod... they're all good clutches.
