I am putting a 1990 5.7L engine together with a 700r tranny. Its going into an 84camaro. I know I need a 153 tooth flexplate for a single piece oil gasket (a post-1986 engine)

My question is this... Is there a way to properly orient my stock flexplate? Or does the flexplate just bolt together any way? (I understand it should face the right direction. I am asking about bolt holes...)

Thanks in advance.

It only bolts on one way.

 

The weight will go forward so it doesn't interfere with the converter.

 

Thank you both for the info. I just wanted to make sure.

Okay. I get it. You guys were absolutely right. The bolt holes only go in one way.

I actually found the flexplate I was looking for.

Now I am going to hook up a starter to see my compression.

Thanks y'all...

 

Thank you for the update.

Hope your comp. check goes well.
