After getting the flywheel gland nut off, I can’t seem to get the actual flywheel free. Any tips, or should I just try to pry it off?

Use two flat head screwdrivers on the 9 and 3 oclock positions behind the flywheel, pry one side at a time back and forth. It will walk it off.

Here’s an interior question:
I’m looking for a stock steering wheel, and I found both a white one and a black one. My car is a 71 sapphire blue with platinum interior. Would the white one or the black one be correct for this color combo?

Black. Keep in mind that 71 steering wheel and column assembly are all by themselves (1 year only).

Ok, thanks for the reply. Is there a way to identify a 71 steering wheel from other models years?

Look for a brass ring screwed to the back of the steering wheel. It should be held on by 3 screws.

On a different note, I believe that my thermostat has failed. This is what it looks like when cold.

If it is failed, is there a way to fix/ repair/ rebuild it? Or do I have to find a new one? Do all models ( type 1 , type 3, etc.) have the same style or are type 3s specific?
Thanks in advance

mine looks like that too when cold but it still opens up when I shortly hit it with a heat gun. Since it still opens up, I used mine like that, but now I realise the flaps might not close 100% when cold. I don't think that's a huge issue though...

Yes, I ran the heat gun over it, and it did open up a little, but it still is hitting the top of the bracket when cold. Would it be fine to buy a used one, or would i be better off getting a new one from Awesome Powdercoats? How often do they fail?
