I have several flywheels to pick from...is there a difference between flywheels for use with Model A, Model B early, and Model B balanced? Dont want to use the wrong one with a factory balanced B crank. Thank you for any info.

The green book shows B-6375 flywheel for 28-34 4cyl pass and truck

Pick the lightest one --the B was lighter than the A.

The Model A flywheel may not even fit within the B flywheel housing. The B flywheel is listed as the service replacement for the slightly heavier A wheel and is still quite heavy. There was no change in the factory B flywheel when the counterweights were added. Unless you're flat broke, the lightened flywheel is worth the price to change. Good Luck: Fred A
