318 flywheel

[arh]

Summit lists part # 50-3409 that fits a 85-91 dodge Dakota with a 318 and it's only $78. The cheapest one they sell for a 69 barracuda with a 318 is almost $400. What is the difference and will the Dakota flywheel work?

I've not heard of any difference in those flywheels. Hollander lists them as a bolt-on interchange.

One 10 1/2" and the other 11"???

I had this one bolted to my 318 in my duster for a while.

Did it work ok? Do you remember what clutch size?

10.5"
The flywheel worked just fine.
Beware they are made in China.
I did have a problem with the Zoom clutch that I put in it.
After several calls to the tech department the new pressure plate was defective.

This is the clutch kit that I had bolted to it.

Here is a thread I had on my clutch issues.
It ended up being a defective pressure plate.
I did mic the flywheel and it was ground true.

Thanks for the info. I will most likely use the same parts.should be fine with a bone stock 318

A stock setup should be the smaller clutch but there may be some aftermarket companies that have figured a way to squeeze a slightly bigger unit on the same flywheel.

Check the tooth count on the new application...it might be 143 and your earlier wheels have 130. They are considerably different in OD.
