Default Ram PowerGrip clutch for LS3

i have a Ram Power Grip clutch for my LS3 (in a classic car)...I am about to put the clutch in the car....I got some pressure plate bolts from ARP....they seem to leave the clutch disc very loose....is that normal? This is tough because I cannot refer to an OEM installation...

The way the clutch is when bolted to the flywheel before the trans is pretty much how it will be when you are driving clutch out so if you can turn it then your motor will certainly be able to slip it. That needs to be harder to slip than the torque your motor makes.

Interesting thing is, I think I was sent the wrong pressure plate bolts. I think the correct ones are ARP 134-2201....which are metric....It looks like what I was sent are standard....

with a clutch bolted to FW, it is fully "engaged"...you should not be able to turn disc at all

not sure on the difference of those and the 134-2203 as both say 12mm hex only and that's not enough to be 100% sure. I'm certain standard threads aren't what you need though.
