Did you forget to post a pic or something. They say there are no such thing as a stupid question. They say there is always the exception that proves the rule. Don't be the exception.

So we're saying this is for an externally balanced motor as in later 340/360 versus what I was told by the guy I bought it from .... guess you can be sincere and be sincerely wrong Nice guy and for 45 bucks , oh well .....

If I do, or someone else has the link, post it. They say there are no such thing as a stupid question. They say there is always the exception that proves the rule. Don't be the exception.

(Old F--t, Huh)

I've seen cast parts from the factory that look like swiss cheese from so many balancing holes and others with hardly any. IOW, all those balancing holes ganged together could be original neutral balance holes. The INTERNET, the MISinformation superhighway

And it has too many patterns for clutches. I would say you have an aftermarket flywheel that has been balance for an external motor of some kind. Who know what CID?

Who know what CID? , It's an aftermarket wheel with patterns for Borg and Beck ... which is the style Chrsler usrd ... and the Long style which was manily used by Ford. You have it , have it balanced neutral and you are good to go .
