I have the '35-'40 style flywheel with the small rim. '32-'34 flywheel has a large rim and the pressure plate sits on top the rim instead of on the disk surface like the '35-40'. Measurements given to me by Dick Spadaro confirm my '35-40' flywheel takes the 9" clutch.

Edit: jetmek, our post crossed!
