Spotted in the wild
Out and about the other day and what do I spy with my little eye? I even put my glasses on to make sure I saw it better.

The early transmissions used a much different speedometer gear and they’re not interchangeable with the later stuff and while everyone can find a correction calculation chart for the later…
A silly question.
Comparing a cast iron flywheel to a billet one. Does it make any significant difference that the billet wheel is thinner than the cast one? I’m talking in the neighborhood of 1.275″ thick vs 0.975″. I’m kinda thinking no major issues with that, but I really don’t have any experience with the billet stuff and actually forgot that’s what I bought oh so many years ago. It weighs approximately 1 lb less than the cast one so not a huge variation there, 383/4bbl out thru 3.23 rear gears in a…
Can you identify it?
Aftermarket or OEM from some manufacturer?
