I need some work done on my crank and the guy I have used before seems to no longer be in business (Precision Crank in Detroit) so I'm looking for someone else. The crank I have has a flat fueler type flange on the back and I need an indexing ring put on it for the flywheel. Any recommendations on who to use?

Are you referring to the lip that is sticking out
on the back.... have a ring machined up and press
it in... tack weld it if you want

Yes, that is what I need, sounds like it's no big deal then. Excellent! I did call Moldex, they said they are in the process of moving, won't be up and operating for a couple weeks. Anybody know what happened to Precision Crank and John Kaminsky, nice guy and excellent work.

The ring is NO big deal at all. I have even made one myself on a 340 crank. It had all that stuff cut off it for some crazy circle track idea that didnt work, I made one for the kid when I was in college, and made it about a .002 press fit, and then we tig welded it in. As far as I know its still in the, more than likely blown up, but still in the crank. Dirby car....
