			Dr Google tells me 3925647 is a Saginaw 3-Spd
 A stock replacement clutch is probably fine.  I see Delco kits around $110.  Looks like there are some variations so I hope you still have your old stuff.

			I'm not 100% sure the difference between Raised Diaphragm and Flat Diaphragm.  Someone smarter then I in these things will probably pipe in.  Maybe Josh.
 Buy it local, maybe at your local Napa, that way if it is wrong returning it is easier.

			If it has all 3 "tabs" on the side cover then it's a Saginaw.
