RE: Flywheel cracks

[Jeff Adams <ledman_70@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Jegs has a new flywheel for $90, but it's listed as fitting 11" and 12" 
clutches internal balance and fits all smalll AND big blocks, 143 teeth. 
I don't know small blocks, but I didn't think they interchanged with big 
blocks. How many teeth do the 10.5" flywheels have?
