Only the Opel friction disc fits the OEM pressure plate, but the 2.8 S-10 alignment tool works. By flat-facing the flywheel and re-drilling for the 2.8 S-10 pressure plate, then you'll both upgrade the clutch AND always be able to buy replacements easily

I know I used to swap (I think) Saab brake pads on the front but I'm not sure.
Volvo, IIRC

Volvo works, but domestic GM alternators are an easy retro-fit

German Capri 2.0 liter, early 70's for points and cap. But get the Pertronix 1847V (also fits VW Beetle) to replace the points

HTH (and by the bye, most of these could have been found with a search )
