How does one tell a flywheel from an automatic 13b vs. a flywheel from
a manual 13b?

I began adding Tracy's RD-1C & Jerry's Shertz Beam to the engine
today, only to be stopped on the 2nd step.  Tracy makes clear that an
automatic flywheel is necessary.  On step 2 I was unable to get the
dampener plate to sit flush on the flywheel I have -- so I am
suspicios that it is the "wrong" flywheel.

Besides now having to probably find a new flywheel, am I at risk of
also having to change anything else?  i.e., the counterweight?

Real easy. One you can pick (the auto TX flywheel (flex plate))  and
the other one is glued to the ground :)
The automatic has a bunch of small holes in it and is made from
sheet metal.

Definitely on the counter weight. Send email to Dave Lemon
at Mazdatrix on which counter weight to use as he built the engine. He might have
one in stock.
