<VV> Re: Your input welcomed replace the flywheel!

[Rick & Janet Norris]

I can attest to the worthyness of that advice. When I had the drivetrain out 
of my 69 I checked the flywheel and thought about it but I had already 
bought a lot of new parts and the car had been in "Condition Red" for a long 
time and I wanted to drive it.
Guess what? RATTLE RATTLE SHAKE SHAKE! The new Dale bolted unit is lying on 
my bench waiting to go in. Ahh hindsight, it's always after the fact!
