I put a new clutch on my 97 zl 440, this is a 9 post and i switched from a 6 post. The sled calls for 48.5 g weights so i put them in and the clutch now engages at about 3500-4000 rpms. This just didnt sound good and it cant be good for the sled. So i took the clutch off of an 85 jag and popped it on and it runs great now. How can I get my new clutch to work properly? Different weights? spring?

The engagement is correct.
If you want a bit lower, change to 48 gram weights.

well i guess its higher than that maybe 4500, so lower weights will lower the engagement?

Yes, my zl engages at 3800-3900 rpms.

yeah with this old 85 clutch on there it engages at 3800 rpms also...I guess ill have to go to lighter cam arms to see if the new clutch will be better

I double checked the setup, you should have a red spring and A-22 weights (46.9 grams).
