    My car and motor is 2.5 hours away so I can't run to the garage to double check so I ask the maverick people for a verification for me:bowdown::bowdown::bowdown:



    302 manual transmission mavericks/comets came with a 28 oz 157 tooth flywheel using a 10 inch clutch correct?


    I've searched my self into sillyness and I think I'm correct I just want to make sure. When I get to my car I'm an hour away from a rinky dink parts house and I just want to be 100 percent prepared so I don't have to waste valuable time.


    All goes well after 5 years (I know, I know) of being on jackstands it should be operational next weekend :dancing: :dancing: :dancing: :dancing::thumbs2:. Better late than never. LOL

    Yep, they came from the factory with a 157 tooth flywheel and 10 inch clutch.
    All you have to do now is find out if it is all original or oe replacement.

    Yea, it confused me too. I also thought they were all 157. It may have been changed sometime in its life but I'm the 3rd owner and the story I got with the car makes me believe it is all original. No way to know for sure.
