I am running a 28# flywheel in my '31 slant window sedan with counter weighted crankshaft, V-8 pressure plate, 6-1 HC head, large intake valves, B carburetor and a 36% OD with 3.78 rear end. Great combination, love the way it drives. Drove from San Diego to Reno this summer. Drive it nearly everyday to Model A Garage in Ramona about 18 miles on hilly HWY 67. Yes I do have to shift out of OD on the 6% grade hill but no big deal, just shift back into OD at the top of the hill and back to 55mph speed limit. Just my thoughts and opinion.
