Doing a 69 rr. The engine is a stock 67 440. All 4 of my options are slightly different. Is there something to look for to balance right for that engine? I'll try and post a pic.

How I choose one is to go to Summit and buy a NEW BILLET wheel , my feet are worth more than the savings of using an OLD, heat checked, cracked cast steel flywheel, especially if you aren't running a blowsheild.

I agree. By the time you pay a machine shop to resurface your old one, you aren't that far away from a good steel replacement. Your old stock one might be just fine until one day in the heat of the moment, you decide to race someone and dump the clutch at higher revs. Then it's off to the rehab hospital for some new feet. Personally I won't run anything but a stock engine without a scattershield. -Charles

The flywheel with the casting number 2843212 is a 143-tooth and no engines that used that flywheel were externally balanced...last used in '69.

'62-later Mopar flywheels:
172 tooth= 14.75" if you measure across the ring gear.
143 tooth= 14.568" at the ring gear
130 tooth= 13.195" at the ring gear
