There are many questions that I can't answer but this one is vexing.
A Chrysler motor builder friend of mine is working on a Ford 302 and
asked me a question about flywheel tooth counts. He ordered a 347
stroker kit for the 302 and they wanted to know how many teeth on the
flywheel. He asked me why they needed that information?
I fumbled through all my extraneous explanations. There are 2 major
tooth configurations 157 and 164 lesser used 148 teeth. There and 2
major imbalance configurations 28oz and 50oz lesser used 0oz. Both
balances take a particular harmonic balance that is compatible with the
imbalance of the flywheel. Backing plate sizes and starter ends vary by
diameter and depth for standard and auto trans and flywheel teeth.
I finally figured out I have no idea.
Is there a concise explanation. If so what is it.
Thanks in advance,
