" " I need a manual flywheel for a 1967 J3000 232 six cylinder. It is
" " smaller than the newer 232s & 258s, it took a 10 inch clutch & I am
" " having a hard time finding one. So all I can say is HELP!!!!!
" 
" as the engine came from amc, you'll find it in their cars as well as
" jeeps.  they changed the flywheel size in '72; what you need is the
" '64-'71 199/232/258 one.
" 
" iirc it has two patterns, for 9 1/8" and 10.5" clutches.
" --------------------
" 
" I believe a 196 flywheel fits also. AFAIK there was no change in the
" bolt pattern,

interesting to know!  though in amc fashion not too surprising.

" and my 196 flywheel was drilled for two different clutch
" sizes also -- one larger than the one it used. Not sure about sizes
" though. 

the common ones i know of are the 10.5", for which there are also 10"
and '10.95"' clutches, the 11"/12" used mostly on light trucks, and
the 9 1/8".

i successfully used an early-'70s 10" hd on my '66 199 but i had to
search a bit for a real 10" pp; most places sub a 10.5" which fits the
larger late setup just fine but won't clear the early bellhousing.
also initial adjustment was close; before it broke in it took just
about full pedal between engaged and disengaged.

slant sixes had a hd 10" clutch that fit the 9 1/8" pattern.
