Default Flywheels
I have 2 sets of flywheels, they are both 80". On one set the pinion side rod oilier hole is a straight hole to the crank pin that is 90 degrees from the key, On the other set there are 2 holes that brings the oil hole in from the side of the tapper to the crank pin. My question is, what year is the set with the single hole 90 degrees from the key?

That's would make sense except the measurement is 2,125 from pinion to crank pin on both sets. The set with the straight drilled hole has a smaller key as well.

I believe that the side oiler ended in late 1973?
I should know that.....lol....just rebuilt/balanced a 74" side oil crank for a cat in Mass.
