5000 or 200

Hi Eric,

It being an Avant might play a factor as well.  I know there weren't
as many of them, however that might affect it.

How many miles do you have on the current clutch?  I guess you'll
have to wait until you drop the tranny to see which you have.

Actually, I don't believe this is true at all.  I think the whole "tranny
bolt" method of securing the crank when doing the timing belt
depends on the presence of the lip that is only on the heavier
flywheel.  So, you should be able to look or feel through the hole in
the bell housing to see if it is a flywheel lip, or the edge of the
concave pressure plate.  I posted some images of the pressure
plates and flywheels for comparison.

Your sig says you're running a K24 on your '86, which is the low
compression MC-1 (1 knock sensor) motor, right?  Did you put that
on, or was it already like that?  What can you tell me about the
conversion?  I assume it's a feature. :-)  Do you like it?

Cheers,

Ken
