Joe,
Go to your Ford dealer and check the parts counter for a flywheel
complete with ring gear. Be sure to tell them it is for a 260 as the balance
weight changed ( at least from 289 to late model 302), Something around
28.2 oz for early and 50 oz for late model.
Your local auto parts store could probably find a flywheel as well.
If you want to be real safe then get a Ford MotorSports
SVO M-6375-A302 billet steel flywheel. 28.2 oz. unbalance, 157 teeth.
It takes a 10.5" clutch.
