bvilletrack Posted November 4, 2018 Report Posted November 4, 2018 (edited) 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 Edited November 29, 2018 by bvilletrack 1 Quote
nkeiser Posted February 25, 2019 Report Posted February 25, 2019 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. Quote
bvilletrack Posted February 25, 2019 Author Report Posted February 25, 2019 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.
