Internal or External Balance?
Hey 340mopar, alittle update. I removed the new flywheel and took it along with the original flywheel to the machine shop and they matched the new wheel to the old. I installed it, along with some great help from my good natured wife, and bingo no more engine vibration. I've attached a pic of the new flywheel and circled the points that metal was drilled out to balance it. What i've learned from this is, unless you know the history of the engine, best to have the new flywheel balance checked before installing.
