    Which flywheel do I have in this 454?

     



    OK, I need to purchase a new flywheel because the one I have is missing teeth. Without tearing the car apart to inspect, I am hoping to identify it so I can buy one now. Its a '84 454 from a wrecker and I KNOW I installed a hayes 12" clutch disc on it. I am having trouble finding flywheels listed as being able to accomodate a 12" clutch. Will any externally balanced BBC 168 tooth wheel work? I think I have a 168 teeth?
    Thx guys!

    What a PITA, seems like everyone list for a 11" clutch and not many actually say 12" clutch.

    I thought that was machined into the flywheel on stock flywheels, not changeable. Learn somethin new everyday! Ill have to look into that. Thx
