    a friend of mine included the following in a recent e-mail message he sent me:

    "...I got my new nailhead flywheel from Poston's the Buick people. They have someone in California that makes them up for them. It was about $120 and arrived in just a few days. Drilled for a couple of clutch options, one being common Chevy clutches..."

    i'm****uming that when he said drilled for clutch options he meant pressure plate. but otherwise i thought this information is worth sharing. i know i'm not the only one needing a nailhead flywheel.

    i intend to have one on order first thing monday morning.

    Do they fit both Dynaflow and TH400 cranks? One for each maybe?

    Atch, if you would, could you ask about the dynaflow/TH400 fitment deal? Would be sweet if they fit both, and helps eliminate one part of the puzzle.
     
  6. Cool, now I'm one step closer to putting that LaSalle******* behind my nailhead in my truck. DAve

    fraz: just got off the phone with them and forgot all about the dynaflow question. we got to talking about other stuff and i just didn't remember. sorry. there phone # is in here: http://www.postonbuick.com/

    everyone: turns out i had the price wrong. it's $240 plus shipping. probably will still order one, but at twice the price i'll have to digest for while before i order. you know how that goes. i had talked myself into ordering at one price and when i found out it was more now i've got to talk myself into letting go of more $.

    i did find out that they are drilled for 10" or 11" bop pressure plates. the guy i talked to didn't think that chevy used the same bolt pattern, but wasn't sure.

    Ouchie, that price change does make a difference when it comes to ordering one.

    I'll call about the dynaflow/TH400 deal when I get a chance. No biggie.
