Help me educate me please

A CT VIN check is a piece a cake. All the DMV does is check the paperwork VIN to the car's actual VIN to make sure they match. Thats all it is. More of an inconvience than anything else.

As for the aluminum flywheel, my late friend Jerry Clark of Jerry's Vette Service in Florida used to build some really tough and nice old Vettes, and he always ran an aluminum flywheel on the street. I have driven his cars, many of them, when visiting, and to be honest, if I didn't know the flywheel was aluminum, I would never have known it wasn't steel.

Where in CT are you?

Best of Luck,

George
