I need a flywheel for a 1979 Ford f350, 400 cubic inch with a manual tranny.
I am doing a favor and trying to fix what is wrong with the above truck. They have gone through 3 starters in a month. They pulled the flywheel to get it resurfaced and I got into it when the flywheel was installed along with the clutch. The new starter gear was gone in a week. The engine seems to vibrate when idling and throughout the rev range. I can't find out if this is an internally balanced engine ore not. I think the wrong flywheel may have been installed because more than one person has worked on it. The current flywheel has 180 teeth and is and externally balanced flywheel. None of the parts stores carry a flywheel. I cannot find one on ebay. I am lost and need to talk to someone to point me in the right direction. According to the vin, it has the correct engine in it and the correct transmission but sometime in the recent future something has been changed and I can't find out just what it is. I can't find out from any source so far, the correct flywheel and internal or external balancing. Please help or point me in the right direction.
