1958 ford flywheel

[cjc56]

I'm having trouble finding a ring gear for my 1958 ranchero 292. I ordered one from pioneer but it did not expand enough to go over the flywheel. Took it to 500 degrees. The ID of the ring is 13.352. Od of flywheel is 13.5. Do I have the wrong flywheel? If so where can I get one

FORD did not offer a RG for the 1958 292CI FM & CM AT FLYWHEEL. You had to buy the flywheel -

And you will find that unobtainium -

Here is an ad by DENNIS CARPENTER but this is for a 1958 FM or CM with an FE. The ad does not call out for an FE -

Standard shift or automatic transmission? What was the number of the flywheel ring gear you received?

Standard shift or automatic transmission?

Now how did I a$$-u-me the application was an AT?

I hope THE HOME calls soon ...

That's what I was wondering? I don't remember Ford selling a 6384 for AT flex-plates/flywheels but I may be mistaken. # should be EAA-6384-A for most MT flywheels that year.

Some are available aftermarket.
