My 72 had the same problem, but reversed, only the right low beam worked. It turned out to be that the left low beam wire was corroded where it crimps to the spade lug. I had to push the spade lug out of the plastic connector, cut the wire, trim the wire and recrimp it. Then I pushed the spade lug

Wow, no one else is answering (or did I miss them?), so I'll take a stab. In a stock application, I recommend sticking with a stock weight cast/steel flywheel.  A billet steel flywheel is even better, although a bit more money. 153 vs 168 tooth is mandated by which starter bolt pattern you have.
