My 215 rebuild is still coming along and I hope to make some of the body
modifications this weekend. Heres my next question. I can't seem to
identify the flywheel off my Olds F-85 block (It doesn't compare to anything
in my Buick shop manual). I'm guessing its from an automatic transmission
model. I'll try to describe it as best as I can.
>From Outside to Inside
Total Diameter = 13.25"
Outside Ring = 1.25" wide with 24 holes
Step Down = 3/8" deep
Middle Ring = 7/8" wide with 6 holes and two locating pins
Step Down = 1/2" deep on 45 degree angle
Center flat section = 7.5" diameter
Even with my very limited (but rapidly expanding) car knowledge I cannot
imagine how I would hook a clutch up to this. Do I need to add a custom
lightened flywheel available through the V8 suppliers to my ever growing list
of things to purchase?
Thanks again for the help,
Glenn
Ps. If anyone has a RB steering U Joint assembly laying around that they
wouldn't mind contributing to my conversion, I'd like to purchase it. I'd of
course pay a little for it, and cover all shipping.
