I have a 1989 5.0L engine from an automatic car and am putting on a stock T-5. I know i need to get a pilot bearing for the end of the crank, but i was wondering how to tell which position my flywheel is supposed to go on. I always marked mine when i took them off and was sure to put them back on the same way since they have a counter weight. Does it matter what position it goes on? And how do i tell the correct way if it does?

There is no certain positsion. The beaing is directly in the center so it will not affect the balance of the flywheel..

The bolt holes are offset and it'll only line up one way.
