1959 flywheel

[Gregory L.]

Hi All,

Can anyone confirm or deny with reasonable certainty that this adapter plate and flywheel is correct for a 1959 vette 290.
It is 14" is supposed to have come off a 1960.

thanks!

The 290HP engine was not available with an automatic transmission, so, no, those parts would not be correct for that application.

Re: 1959 flywheel

The adaptor is for a PG car and as Jim mentioned, not on a 290 HP. The flywheel on my 59 PG looked different and the one shown. It many have been changed over the years as the original motor was gone and a 65 small block was installed, but the PG is correctly dated for the car.
