Flywheel Help


Recommended Posts

I have a flywheel off of a 265 flathead that's leaving me puzzled.  The flywheel has the standard 6-bolt pattern for the 10" clutch, but the pattern for the 11" clutch is 8-bolt.  The only 11" pressure plates I've seen are 6-bolt.  Here's a little more info:  146 tooth ring gear, 8-bolt crank.  What flywheel do I have?  Thanks, DW

 

Just a quick follow-up.  The 11", 8-bolt pressure plate was used on 1-1/2 and 2-1/2 ton Dodge trucks from 1941-1960.  The pressure plates are still available.  DW

Thanks for the information on that. My '53 B4C with a 218 has the same clutch and pressure plate set up. All of the replacement pressure plates I've seen have been 6six bolt. I was really confused as to why mine was an eight bolt. Where did you find one? I'm likely going to get mine redone at a shop in Kansas City, but always good to know if I need a new one.

Dave Cirillo (DC Truck Parts) was the guy that got me fixed up.  He's helped me in the past and has always been a good guy to work with.  FYI, I ended up using ARP pressure plate bolts for a small block Chevy.  The only problem was that I had to buy 6 at a time.  DW
