The torque converter has a weight on it for balance. The four mounting bolts on the converter matchup one way on the flexplate. How do you determine how to orient the offset weight if you can mount the flexplate two different ways? Maybe I am over thinking this? Thanks

They say there are no such thing as a stupid question. They say there is always the exception that proves the rule. Don't be the exception.
