i have recently discovered that my flywheel was installed incorrectly by the guy who rebuilt my 292, and therefore was bent out of wack. so, i am needing to replace it! but, i am having trouble finding a replacement flywheel for my 1958 ford custom 300. i have been told that this flywheel was only made for a period of 2 years for my specific car/model. i have called EVERYWHERE AND EVERYONE and cannot locate even a used one from a tranny shop! my car is in southern california, any suggestions on where i can find this phantom flywheel?! thanks so much!

Try the classified section, and I assume this is for an automatic?

Is the trans a 2 speed automatic,if it is i have a 292 engine and 2 speed auto trans that came out of a 59 Edsel,the flywheel might be the same as your 58 but dont know for sure  Carl Lynn

Check the flywheel convertor's mounting holes.

V8 Cruise-o-matics convertors had four mounting holes and the V8 aluminum 2 spd Ford-o-matic convertors had 3 mounting holes.

Both V8 flywheels are same diameter with 148 teeth.
