Default Fly wheel thickness?

Ok guy's looking for some help. I am in the middle of my motor swap and I noticed my ARP fly wheel bolts had some scuff mark's on them? So I looked at the clutch disk and all the spring's were hitting the bolt's that hold on the fly wheel. So I am looking for the stock thickness of an 11" fly wheel. The one I have is a hays steel 11" fly wheel that i bought used the part number is 10-130. It was supposed to have only 5,000 miles on it. It look's like new but I am questioning the thickness? I took a couple of measurement with my dial calipers I don't have a set of mic's and I came up with .932-.938 of an inch.

Thank's Jason

The original flywheel is casting number 3789733 and should be dated before your engine assembly date if the date matters.

What is the difference between the 3789733 and the 3973456?

I'm not sure what the difference is. I have the '456 flywheel in my 68 Camaro right now. The casting date is later so it replaced the '733 for some reason.

Well thanks everyone who helped out. I have found a 733 locally and it is date coded for my car.
