Thank you Walt. I have been wondering for years how to make my life 'easy'  ..... Somehow from where I am it will take more than a flywheel matchup. Having a great New Years Eve though! And I have learned that easy isn't always the best, but for flathead flywheels the correct bh, flywheel and clutch will make life much simpler than removing parts of my flywheel with an angle grinder. I really appreciate all the help given here.
