It looks like I won't be putting my 301 Pontiac back together any time soon.

I would actually have more faith in an older flex plate. Most of the newer ones are probably Chinese made. I bought a summit brand for my car last and it was a Pioneer brand stamped into it. It is SFI approved. Next time I have it out I will look for a better wheel. I have an ATI safety bell housing too.
That was a fluke happening. I can’t remember the last time I heard of a flywheel breaking. Think of how many runs are made each weekend at drag races across the country.
