    Got a new 50oz flexplate and balancer today. With the engine straight up at #1, does the flexplate need to go on a certain way? I mean does the weight need to be at a certain position? Or is it just a slap/bolt on with weight at any location. Thanks.

    The bolt holes will only line up in one position.

    Yup, found it. They all were pretty close, but only one where they all went in no problem. Gonna see about maybe hooking the trans up tomorrow and possibly hoist it into the car. Right now it's :drink: time.
