Its' been a loooong time, but I bolted a 1970 232 to a 1963 T-96. The 
T-96 was original, mated to a 195.6 at the factory.

I have two flywheels, one drilled only for an 8" clutch (1963 American), 
the other for only a 9" clutch (1969 232, I forget car). Same OD and 
teeth so the same starter would work if it bolts to the block in the 
same place. Both fit onto a 1959 195.6OHV, so with some confidence I'd 
say that the 1962 flywheel will bolt onto ANY Nash six (172, 184, 195.6 
flat or ohv) or any AMC six up through 1971! The flywheel center portion 
that bolts to the crank is the Nash pattern, AMC kept it up through 71.

(Actually, the 72-up six crank butt looks the same... is it? Not that 
it's of practical knowledge...)
