    Irrespective of the diagram, I would think any automotive machine shop could find the balance specs on a factory 72 340 and balance the flywheel to match.

    Have you tried looking up Mopar Madness? They are somewhere around your neck of the woods up there and are a dedicated mopar shop. They may be able to help you out.

    It's a 73 cast crank. Externally balanced. Ya I've heard of mopar masters...but this guy still has my flywheel and pressure plate.He won't return my calls... Sux too,I'd of been driving. The weather has been awesome! But no Cuda,And I'm bummed. If he didn't have my pressure plate I wouldn't bother with his crap. Dangit!!!!  :banghead:
    What can I do!?!? :dunno: :horse:

    Went to get my pressure plate and flywheel back. He said the p/p was a bit off.There's about a 2" piece of 1/4" rod welded to it.The flywheel has three holes left.The others are welded up.And both are marked for reassembly.He said it was very close to the specks I gave him.So,I chucked it back together.Not a whole lot of change. Going to buy the mc cleod one I guess. Still bummed. I would have thought atleast some change. So I get the new flywheel and see once and for all. At this time I doubt that will fix it.At a loss again. Rebuild the thing?  Who knows...    Frustration.
    Tired. :walkaway:

    Even though you get the new flywheel, can you trust the pressure plate since this guy modified it?

    So I get the new flywheel. (pre drilled)
    Cut the weight off the p/p.

    Then take both somewhere else. ( mopar masters)
    Have them check it.

    Then I'll put it all back together again and it will be the same.
    Starting to think about an entire new drivetrain.
    I'm depressed. Broke. Frustrated.  Angry. WTF !?

     Personally I think it's the trans. They are junk.IMO.
    The shifting is terrible.fit is a joke. All I hear is problems with them. And over 1000 bucks to upgrade to the rs.
    If you can wait.   No... I'll try something else. Even if it's twice the price. You get what you pay for.So don't even waste your time with the tko.

    I don't know about you removing the welded part on your pressure plate yet but in order for you to have it checked, it has to be put on a flywheel that has been neutrally balanced first. So.... Hope that Mopar Masters has one of those. Once it is neutrally balanced, then you install it on your new offset balanced flywheel.

    My balancer guy had a problem looking at the numbers on my printout too when I brought him my flywheel. (in-oz offset added to flywheel)  He told me to buy an offset torque converter flexplate for a 340 cast crank from someone like Summit. He can then match my flywheel to "balance" exactly like the flexplate, then I can return the flexplate to Summit. My balancer guy builds many racing engines and knows what he is talking about.

    I took it to a friend to drill it on his Machine shop's drill press instead. The Mopar manual said what to do, so I did it.

    Ehhh... I'm done with it.    Don't understand anymore.   Going to call this place mopar masters...sit down with someone and tell the story.If I even can. Right now it seems hopeless.as nothing has changed much. Without a proper balance on the rotating assembly,Engine,flywheel,ect... And possibly a new trans. All I'm really doing is chasing my tail.  Even with all the right parts it may still vibrate.
