    I can’t say for sure the automatic flywheel is out of a Jetfire but all my cars have been Jetfires, so I assume it is. I do have a known automatic Jetfire flywheel but it’s somewhere in my garage which is full of winter stored equipment.

    I have 2 flywheels. One is an automatic and weighs 19 3/4 lbs. The other is a manual and weighs just over 32 lbs. It is drilled for my 10 inch clutch. I think it came out of a 63 4 speed Jetfire that I parted out. If I remember right I got it back from a friend I sold it to originally. I think I’ll check, it seems pretty heavy.

    The 1963 parts catalog lists two different numbers for the Jetfire crossover pipe depending on automatic or standard transmission. I believe there is a small difference in how they are bent. I assume you are looking for the 4 speed version.

    I believe I know of at least 2 other factory 4 speed 62 Jetfires. I’ll check into it for sure. I had one at one time which went through a couple more owners and then burned up in a forest fire in Montana. There is a picture of it in the cars without known owners section. It is red with a black vinyl top sitting on a car trailer.

    Sorry to hear about your father Rick. This is a great website that he started, enjoyed by many. Probably most of us didn’t realize, or never thought about it, that there are expenses involved with maintaining such a website. If you don’t mind, please PM me concerning those expenses.

    It’s a beauty Jim. My Philly car is just like it. Maybe someday it will be half as nice as yours.

    Actually I just blew on the tubing and it moved toward power, sucked on the tubing and it moved toward economy, pretty rough test. I don’t think I have a spare chrome ring. If you want I’ll send the unit to you and you can do what you want with it. I’ll never use it.

    Hi Eric,
    I have a boost gauge that appears to work. The chrome piece is corroded, you would have to swap yours if it is in good shape.
