<VV> RE: flywheel selection

[D. Barry Ellison]

Hummm, I've also got a solid flywheel in my 65 140hp red Convertible, installed by PO.  I drive it all the time (4 days this week, 24 miles one way) and never noticed this noise.  It must be the 3.27 transaxle - I never get it over 3k rpm - hums along the interstate with traffic about 2500-2700.  (This must be about 70 but the speedo shows 80-90).  I don't drive like a maniac... unless it's an autocross or time trial!
 
Thanks Ken, maybe I'll try it in 2nd/3rd today and see.  If it disintegrates near work, I can blame you, right?
