I am about to put my flex plate on and a friend said he thinks that the 28oz. weight should go a certain way but he didn't know and I don't either. So any help would be helpfull. Please don't tell me that I sould have looked when the engine was first taken apart because I started from scratch. And also do ya'll know if I need a plate that goes over the flex plate "called a reinforcement plate" agan any help is very appreciated. Thanks Mike

Ford flywheels and flexplates only bolt on one way. The bolt holes are not the same distance apart from each other.

I use the reinforcement plate, not sure how "necessary" it is, but definetly not a bad idea to use it.
