First thanks to all the responders so far.  I have an  (AMC 150 cu in (2.5 L) engine, One-barrel carburetor (84-85)) out of a wrecked 1985 XJ .  When I acquired the engine it did not have a flywheel.  I intend to install the rebuilt engine in my 1990 MJ (2WD), which currently has that same engine from Chrysler and is Throttle body injection (TBI) (86-90). The current engine in the MJ has 290,000 mile on it and need some help, or to be replaced which is my intention.  I might be able to use the flywheel that is currently on the MJ when I take the motor out, but I would like to have the new engine complete before I remove the MJ engine.  I drive the MJ everyday to work and home.  Plan for the new engine.  It will be  carbureted  with a vacuum advance distributor and regular old point and condenser, The parts that I got off the 1985 engine.  I do not want any computer chips in the MJ. 

 

So I am left looking for one part, the flywheel, I have all the other pieces and a rebuild engine that was bored 20 thou over with new pistons and rods.  I am temped to just order one of the flywheels that are for sale on Ebay as a gamble to see if it fits.  What do I have to lose.  My hope was that someone might know if there was a different flywheel for the AMC version of the motor.  

 

I hope this helps explain what I am looking for. I attached a picture of the 1985 engine.
