I knew there was a difference between the 6V and 12V flywheels, but I 
thought it had to do with the 180mm vs 200mm diameter and thus the 
different number of teeth.  My 66 has a 200mm flywheel for sure since 
that is what we bought when we swapped the clutch in Hershey.  I also 
have a vague recollection of a conversation in our garage Russ while 
changing out my starter bushings that my flywheel was some kind of 
transitional thing and could be changed more easily since it was 200mm.

I could be completely mistaken about the whole thing too. <G>
