Does anyone here happen to have a copy, or can tell me where the weights need to go? Many Thanks David Last edited by beleneagle; 07/15/12 01:38 PM.

Can't somebody help me, or is this gonna be just like Wal Mart? I'm not buying a B&M flexplate, so please don't suggest it. I'm trying to get by with a little as possible, so that leaves the B&M out.

I'm not a WalMart employee but I've done quite a few 5.9 Mag conversions & only trying to help. I have the stock flexplate, but it is my understanding the converter had weights welded to them till they changed the flexplate in 96', and mine is a 94'. Since the engine that I'm replacing is a 318, I need to add the weights to the converter. Right? I'm running a 904 tranny for now. David
