I want to convert my 68 Falcon to manuel trans, I know it will have to be early 28#
How do you determin what flywheel to use the 164# tooth of the 157 tooth,is there a different bellhousing for each flywheel? I got a bell housing for manuel from yard can't remember number on it. I asume the large 164tooth is foe fill size vehicles and 157 tooth is for small cars amd I am assuming my Falcon will need small 157 tooth, will the starter spinn it???

You will need the appropriate bell housing to fit the flywheel you use.
Also you will need a manual starter or a late model gear reduction starter.

I don't think it really matters which one you use but the 157 tooth gives you a little more room in the smaller cars like the mustang and falcon for your exhaust.

I guess what I'm trying to ask is there a way to know what size flywheel goes with the bellhousing or is is a trial and guess??

Yes.
Measure the bell housing across from the starter hole end to the other side. I'll tell you then which flywheel you need.
