Fly Wheels
I'M ABOUT TO GET ERA #273 OUT OF THE BURNED OUT GARAGE. OUT OF DESPERATION - AND HAVING NO PLACE TO WORK ON IT - I'M GOING TO TRAILER IT TO A SHOP AND HAVE THE FLYWHEEL AND/OR RING GEAR REPLACED.
THE ENGINE IS A 427 S/O WITH A MALLORY DISTRIBUTER AND TWO 4-V HOLLEY CARBS. OTHER THAN THAT I DON'T KNOW A THING ABOUT IT. THE PREVIOUS OWNER KNOWS LESS ABOUT IT THAN I DO.
IT SOUNDS GOOD AND RUNS STRONG. I BELIEVE THAT IT'S RELATIVELY MILD. I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THE C/R MIGHT BE AND THE CAM IS NOT STOCK BUT NEITHER IS IT WILD.
MY QUESTION IS: IS THERE ANY REASON, COMPELLING OR OTHERWISE, WHY I SHOULD - OR SHOULD NOT - HAVE A LIGHTER FLYWHEEL INSTALLED ?? (OF COURSE I DON'T KNOW WHAT FLYWHEEL IS IN THERE NOW).
ANY THOUGHTS AND/OR RECOMMENDATIONS WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED.
THANKS, AND HAVE A REALLY GREAT DAY,
BLACKJACK
