[V8] Clearcoat Failure/Flywheel Carnage

[Robert Williams]

Hey, I had had a Flywheel meltdown. I guess my fuel pump has not been
working or is clogged. I cranked the starter (while using starter
spray) and stripped a few cogs on my "92 auto V8 flywheel due to a
backfire while the bendix was engaged.. My mechanic told me that V8s
come to rest in 1 of 3 positions after the switch is shutoff. I can
crank the engine after manually, passing the bald spot, using a 1/2"
breaker bar and a 1 1/8" socket on the crank bolt. Still won't start.
Does anyone have a Flywheel and are they year specific?

 I got a fuel pump relay #372 from Parts Geek, however, I can not find
the relay location. The book shows it under the fuses, but I have
three aluminum 3/8" thick boxes (fuses?) there. I would like to change
the relay before thinking about changing the fuel pump. I know there
have been write-ups on fuel pump replacement, but I could use the
dates or the info.

  Finally, I need plastic lenses, I need all of them, particularly the
front left corner. I have had them broken-out in parking lots.  If you
have any front or back let me know. Thanks! Bob, in Delaware
