$270??? is that a good deal? non SFI to boot. Check the aftermarket.
I couldn't find one at NAPA or Autozone or Checker/Advance, so the low cost cast replacements seem to be missing.
That's enough to make you go automatic!

Here's the diagram to take a neutral unit and un-balance it for 360 use...

will the diagram to drill the flywheel work on a 130 tooth wheel from a 340? looks to me like it will. . I have a bench drill press and probably the right drill bit too.looks easy to do. anyone ever tried it?
thanks!

Wow, you've got a 1-13/64" drill bit?
Of course the magic number is X.XX in-oz of imbalance, not necessarily just 3 holes of a certain size. Also, steel flywheels may not use the same size holes due to differences in the mass of the materials. I think the diagram above is only truly valid for cast flywheels, but it might be "close enough" for steel flhwheels too.

I have a jig used to drill those balance holes. If you have a 318 flywheel, I can convert it.

that drill bit size is very expensive if you don't have it already & you will need to do some trigonometry
along with the MP diagram.

Probably be cheaper to get a 318 wheel, ship it to DrDiff, have him do the drilling and ship it back!
