I  ordered up what I thought was a Vega clutch from Summit.  (It's going  in
the Rampside) Turns out I got a whole clutch set, which includes  the
pressure plate.  Any chance the 'vair and vega pressure plates  are
interchangeable?

Joel - The original Corvair pressure plate is the same as the original Vega  
- except that the Corvair has the starter ring added to it. I suppose that you 
 could also add the ring, if you were a good welder and had the right welding 
jig  to hold it in place. You might also be able to find a local clutch shop 
that  will change the guts of your new pressure plate into an existing Corvair 
clutch  cover. If you do that, inspect the ring gear welds really well first. 
Some of  the spot welds can break cleanly which shortens the life of the 
assembly - a  bunch. - Seth
