Flathead help

Gents,
I just did a flatty swap and crawling around under the car afterwards found a ball bearing about 1/8th diameter.
Haven't got a clue what it's from or even if it's from the swap.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Bob

 

Water Pump ?

 

never took the water pumps off or apart.

 

I can't think of a ball-bearing in a flathead. You should be ok

 

Could it be from a sender,the transmission(speedo drive?).

 

your pilot bearing in your flywheel? if u have a bearing and not a bushing. there arent many ball bearings.....

 

your wife tossed it there to wind you up..?

 

Just a single 1/8" ball? Were you working on a carburetor?

 

could it come frome inside a greese fitting? could have sheared one off the suspension when putting in motor?
