| Help! Flywheel mounting help needed on 352. |
| By Rod Mauldin - 08/19/2000 11:29:54 PM; IP 216.54.224.139 |
After making the mistake of letting an engine shop pull my 352 out of my 62 Galaxie. I am now suffering the woes of letting someone else mess with your car. The guy said he had to replace my flywheel and installed a late model flywheel. Needless to say it didn't work. Wrong number of teeth and slightly larger diameter forces even NEW late model starter to hang up.He also threw my old one in the trash, OUCH! After pulling the engine this time myself(which I should have done the first time)and finding a correct flywheel. I want to make sure I install it corectly as I don't trust his judgement. On the flywheel where the crank is bolted up to it. There is a letter "C" over one of the bolt holes. I'm sure this must correspond with a point on the crank mounting plate. Trouble is, I don't know where. I noticed there is a "cresent" cut out and a slot on the crank to flywheel mounting plate. Does one of these markings line up with the "C" mark on my flywheel?
I know my crank is factory balanced and not "detroit" balanced. But will the flywheel not be balanced if this "C" mark is not installed on correct crank stud?
ANY help will be more than I know at present!
Thanks!
