I have just run across my first 160 tooth flywheel in a 1965 Mustang with a 289. The old flywheel is junk and there does not seem to be anyone making a replacement.

Does anyone know who makes a replacement?

I have read that the 157t/28oz is interchangable with the old 160t, but I don't want to buy another problem. Can I swap in the 157t. Will I need a new starter if I do?

Some expert advice would be appreciated! Car is holding up the rack and tempers are flaring.

Thanks!

 

Try posting in the classic section, someone there may know more. I wasn't even aware they use 160t flywheels on 289s, I thought it was either 157 or 164.

 

The 164t was much more common. Seems the 160t was only used in the very early 60's. I do business with a bunch of flywheel companies and none of them even list the part.

I will try putting the post in Classics as you suggest. Thanks.
