Ok, after a long ordeal (this is my first time) I got my flywheel out. I ordered a new one to fit my 351 from Astro Performance. I got it reinstalled, and upon starting to install the clutch, I cannot get the bolt holes to line up. I know the flywheel bolt pattern is offset so it can only go on one way. Is the pressure plate the same way? (I have the clutch alignment tool btw).

I'm stuck on this part. Hopefully tomorrow if I can figure this out I'll have it back together. Opinions?

Nope. Right flywheel. I could get one bolt in, but was having a hard as hell time keepin it all lined up correctly to put it in. The holes were lining up, just couldnt get the damn bolts in.

That's why I was wonderin if it is offset like the flywheel and can only go on one way. I didn't spin it any, but my arms were falling off so I had to give it up.
