    mostly to

    A. get more air in to the clutch to cool it down

    B. the rear main is leaking so much that they take it off to help keep the clutch from getting oil soaked

    And oil causes clutch chatter right? Plus a loss of power... but that's an obvious one!! ;)

    I agree. It looks like XXXX without the cover! I think the biggest reason you don't see it alot is that the originals obviously were long ago rusted out. A plastic replacement is cheap. A steel replacement costs some dough and does nothing for the car except pure cosmetics. If your rear main and/or transmission seal is leaking that badly that it fouls the clutch, you have a very serious leak. Cooling maybe, but, if it's a problem get a better clutch. The light's not going to wait for your clucth to cool!

    I had a 340 Demon that the cover was missing off of it. One day it sucked a plastic bag up into the bellhousing and it got all wrapped around the throwout bearing, what a mess.

    I don't think either of use were being serious. There is something for everybody.

    I live in Arizona

    It seems like every car I ever bought or came across
    around here was tan, off white or olive drab

    even when you strip the red or blue paint off it's green
    underneth

    I guess Mopar didn't send too many bright colors to AZ
    cause they would fade?

    I do  have that '72 that was original vitamin C but that
    car came from Oregon
