Rick,

 Yes I do know about the holes lining up only one way. One hole was a little bit off in any position thats why I decided a new flexplate was in order. I ordered one for a 74 amx with a 360  was just over 50 bucks with tax. Worth every penny if it balances correct.

 And yes I have the small ring that the flexplate bolts go through. Which way does it face? I am sure by looking at it I will know. Forgot to take a pic of that.

 definitly appreciate ya keepin me on my toes though. Looks like I will have the tranny in saturday.

 Thanks,

 Davis

Try to lign up the holes. found the ones that line up except this FP
has bee beat on and the holes are ovaled and don't quite line up. I
decide a new FP is the only way to go. So I call Advance Auto. 40.17
and can have it next day.

Hey Davis

 

Glad to hear of the progress, but I have a question. You do know the flex plate will only bolt up one way for all the holes to properly line up, don't you? Also, do you have the bolt ring that installs with the flex plate bolts?
