i do apologize for the recent flood of incompetent questions!  one day
i promise to buy you all a beer....

i just checked my old flywheel and it turns out to be the 50oz" type
from '82.  my engine is a '72 mexico block 302.

now either the PO had the wrong flywheel (i was suffering from
vibrations!) or the engine has been rebuilt with a crank and balancer
for the later 50oz" imbalance.  fortunately i was able to stop my
order for a 28oz" from summit before it shipped.

the question is how can i tell what is the correct one to replace it
with?  is it possible that the wrong flywheel was fitted or would that
just shake the engine to bits over 2000rpm?
my only idea is to pull the oil pan and try to identify the crank
which may be hard if its an aftermarket crank.
