Default Re: Model A flywheeel lightened

I beg to differ..... I bought my Town Sedan, over 13 years ago, with a newly rebuilt motor, but no counter balanced crankshaft. After I took delivery, I had the flywheel lightened, and also added the V-8 clutch and pressure plate. I was warned by some that the lightened flywheel would ruin the Model A....it would never run right, wouldn’t idle properly, etc. After 14,000 miles I can report that mine runs very smooth, without any undue vibration, at any normal speed, including over 60 mph on the freeway. And I can still pull away in 2nd gear, although I see no reason to do so.
