[AMC-List] 4 hole Flywheel (NOT Flexplate!) work w/ 3 hole

[Jesse <j2sax@xxxxxxxxx>]

OK, I should've mentioned this was a standard tranny
application.  I know many of us use the terms
interchangeably (sort of like 304 and 360 stuff!)
however, I always call a standard tranny a flywheel
and an auto a Flexplate.  

My understanding is that there is only one part number
for a 304/360 crank and I assumed that the balance
would be the same for them, though I guess the
rotating mass is different due to the pistons.  I had
always heard that the part numbers are also the same
for the 304/360 flexplates and flywheels... is that
incorrect? 

Thanks, 

Jesse

A: SOme people with Jeeps have used the 304 and 360 
flexplates 
interchangeably (I always found vibration) The 304 has

slightly less offset 
weight than the 360. I went through this with my '73 
J4000 when I swapped a 
304 for the dead 360. WHich trans are you running? The

universal with 
adapter ring? New flexplates are still available (I 
still have my old one 
from the '73. I was going to cut the weighted portion 
from it to find out 
how much the 360 needed but never got around to it. 
The teeth were nearly 
chewed off in one spot)
