I am in need of a flywheel cover for my 66 F100, 352/3 speed manual.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance

What do you mean by a flywheel cover? The removable inspection cover that bolts to the bottom of the bellhousing? If so...

C3AZ6366A .. Flywheel Housing Cover / Obsolete

Fits: 1965/67 F100/350 352 / 1968/76 F100/350 360/390 / 1963/71 352/390/406/410/427/428 Passenger Cars.

No Ford Dealer or obsolete parts vendor has any.

Mine was missing too. I got one from the local pull-a-part. (I think it was from a mid 70's truck). Remember to get the bolts too.

That's what I was afraid of. Will try the salvage yards.

Hi Bill,
Is the 3-speed flywheel housing cover the same part as the NP435, T-18, and T-19 4-speed flywheel housing cover or are they different?

The parts catalog lists exactly one: C3AZ6366A / Text, Section 60.7, page 9.

The same one fits 1963/71 FE cars, 1973/76 FE F100/350's.

T19's were not used until 1979, and then only in F350's.

Bill,
Sure enough, I went to Section 60, page A, and located: Cover assy - engine flywheel housing, Group number 6366. I then scrolled down to page 12, and located ENGINE PARTS LIST INDEX, 8-cylinder gasoline, 352, 360, 390: went to Section 60.7. Scrolled down to page 9; and located the 6366 part number C3AZ-6366-A, for 8-CYL. 352, 360, 390.applications and it's name: COVER ASSY. - FLYWHEEL HOUSING.

I believe where I was making my error was by incorrectly thinking that the cover would be a Transmission part, instead of an Engine part.

Question: my CD lists this part as 65/ ..... not 1973....???

BarnieTrk

P.S.
Looking just three and four lines down the page, I read that the M/T flywheel, C5AZ-6375-K, is listed for 352 and 360 applications and having 184 teeth; whereas the C5AZ-6375-J is listed for a 390 application and yet only has 178 teeth. However, just a few more lines down, the list calls for GEAR - FLYWHEEL RING, C5AZ-6384-A is intended for the 352, 360 AND the 390 and has 184 teeth. --- How do you explain why the flywheels have starter ring gear tooth count differences but not the gears themselves?

P.S.S.
I also see where they mention that the 352/360 flywheels have a different pressure plate bolt pattern from the 390 (12 3/8" vs. 12 7/8" respectively), but I have not yet been successful in my CD search to confirm the different pressure plates between the 352/360 and the 390 engines.

Parts catalog error, 184 teeth is correct.

I also see where they mention that the 352/360 flywheels have a different pressure plate bolt pattern from the 390 (12 3/8" vs. 12 7/8" respectively).

But I have not yet been successful in my CD search to confirm the different pressure plates between the 352/360 and the 390 engines.
The difference is: 352/360's use an 11" clutch on a 12 3/8" bolt circle, while 390's use an 11 1/2" clutch on a 12 7/8" bolt circle.

You can use the 352/360 flywheel on a 390 and vice versa. The only difference is the size of the clutches.

There's nothing confusing...at all, because...the 1964/72 catalog lists it like this: 1965/

I know it fits 1973/76, cuz I have the 1973/79 Ford Light Truck Parts Catalog.

And...I know it fits 1963/71 Passenger Cars, cuz I have the 1960/64 & 1965/72 Ford Passenger Car Parts Catalogs.

Ok, so they do use different-sized pressure plates. Interesting...

Cool beans.


There's nothing confusing...at all, because...the 1964/72 catalog lists it like this: 1965/

I know it fits 1973/76, cuz I have the 1973/79 Ford Light Truck Parts Catalog.

Ok, I was under the impression that that you were listing the years as the first to last year of application, in such case, you would have posted it as 1965/76 FE F100/350's......

And...I know it fits 1963/71 Passenger Cars, cuz I have the 1960/64 & 1965/72 Ford Passenger Car Parts Catalogs.

I recall you mentioned earlier that you also have the car parts catalogs. WOW - lots of data to cross-reference!
Bill,
It will truly be a dark day for all the FTE folks when you decide you've had enough of all of this...

I wish you a GREAT DAY, my Friend!

By that time (if it occurs), there will be enough of my posts that ppl can search for the info.

I've typed this flywheel info...at least 200 times here on FTE.

But, most ppl don't bother to use the search function now, so... It'll be the same jazz that occurs with the fracatta core supports!

I've typed that info over 300 times.

btw: Did'ja know, (prolly not) that Bronco parts are listed in the Passenger Car parts catalogs 1966/79?

Correct, what you have is a flywheel for a manual transmission to go behind a 352 or 360 V-8.

But what the original poster (OP) 'baracade' was asking for was a "flywheel cover" ( which is the removable inspection cover that bolts to the bottom of the bellhousing. Part # C3AZ6366A, technically called the, Flywheel Housing Cover).

But you may want to list your flywheel in the Classified section if you want to find it a new home.....
