Default ?? FLYWHEEL TO CRANK -- MOUNTING ORIENTATION ??

I pulled the flywheel off the crank without first making reference markings for the re-installation. Realizing that this is a balanced rotating assembly that was a brain fart on my part. Please, I would like to know:

--> Are there ANY reference features or markings on the flywheel & crank that I can use to properly mate the two together in their original orientation to each other? ?

Below are my notes on Features that may have relevance:
* CRANK: The only feature on the rear face of the crank is a countersunk hole that is on the same bolt diameter as the six threaded holes and cylindrically 30 degrees from the nearest mounting hole.
* FLYWHEEL: The most obvious reference marking is a punch mark, about 1/8" diameter, on the rear face of the flywheel and almost tangential to one of it's six clearance/mounting holes. ("Rear" means the side facing, or closest to, the back end of the car).

THE CAR: A completely stock (no mods) 1987 Mustang 5.0 with the original flywheel, clutch and pressure plate, etc. (i.e. it's the original unit that came with the car when I drove off the showroom floor in 1987).
Thanks in advance.

All flywheel installs Ive done have dowel pins in them. You simply line them up bolt it up and torque it down
