Had open motor in car with quarter master housing, switching over to a crate engine. Found all the flywheel parts to change over (very hard to find the right parts).
Ive got correct flywheel, the add on counter weight, the correct drive flange, and different bolts.
My question is, where am i supposed to install the counter weight?
Circle track ran a 2 part article with the 1st saying install it between engine and flywheel, then 2nd article says they screwed up and install it between flywheel and drive flange because starter wouldn't disengage with counter weight by engine. My issue with putting it between the flywheel and drive flange is the flywheel is countersunk for drive flange. If you put weight there then you would have to add spacers which was never talked about to make up for the counter sunk depth. heres the articles to get a better look.
