Hi Doug,
I didn't see your original posting, but here are the answers to your  
questions.
 
The 164 cid engine had the front crank seal moved 0.070 inches to the rear,  
which relocated the position of the seal on the hub.
 
Bell housings are identified by the cast-in numbers per the following  table. 
the dollar sized imprint is on the EM housings.

1950-63                    6256583                   6255599
1964-69                    3832176                   3832517
 
Late model FLYWHEELS have the stepped surface. LM pressure plates have the  
bent-fingers.
Hope this helps. 
 
PS......It's in the book <ggg>
