Default 13.5 pound flywheel! That was quick

I just ordered this flywheel Tuesday evening and it just showed up on my door step today. Standard UPS ground shipping. I know everyone loves pictures so here it is front and back. It is a Fidenza flywheel. 13.5 pounds with a steel insert. Should make a difference from my 30+ pounder that is on the car. To bad it will be cold here soon and I probably won't have it in until spring. If we have a nice winter day I will definitly take it out. I want to go to the drags one more time with the heavy wheel to see what it an do now that the throttle linkage and jets are correct. Then see what the new wheel will do.

Looks nice Gordon! I'm sure you'll like the lighter flywheel, I know I like it on my big block. It definitely revs up faster than before.

I tried counting the teeth in that picture for you but my eyes got crossed and I almost fell out of my chair. Sorry. I'll try again tomorrow.

I did not count the teeth but it is wha t I ordered and the part number on the box is the correct one. I don't think a 153 tooth flywheel would have both 10.5 and 11 inch holes in it. I'll check though
