RE: Thank you...but i need more help.

A late 1500 flywheel will definitely bolt up to a small bearing 1300, but 
not correctly unless you have the kit from Rimmer that someone mentioned. 
The bolts are the wrong size - too small for the holes in the flywheel. But 
it will bolt on there - of course, then the only thing locating it is 
friction and the indexing pin. Bad news! An early 1500 flywheel from 73-74 
will fit correctly. I had the former on my car and the crank broke because 
of it, I now have the latter. In both cases, the gearbox was a 77 with O/D, 
the engine a 69 MKIII.

Well, that's not an answer to the question and doesn't help Dave at all.

If indeed the 1500 flywheel does bolt up to the early 1300 in the Mk 3 
with the small bearings, then I'm all wet.  But as I recall, it will not 
do so.

Which leaves Dave a bit up in the air on not only what flywheel he has, 
but also perhaps what engine.

It's been a while since I put the lightened 1300 flywheel on my 1500 
engine.  When I initially replied, I recalled that you could swap the 
clutch disc around between the two.  But as I think about it more and 
more, I suspect I'm wrong on that.  The rim the pressure plate sits on was 
closer in on the 1300, wasn't it?  Don't have my flywheels and such here 
to play with, so I can't check it.  Ah well.
