Was having starter issues with my T-56 Magnum and asked my installer after the matter of the fact about dialing in the bellhousing. He said that he didn’t, lucky me. Any how I had a little accident with the car so decided to repaint it all and drop the K-frame. This is what I have right now. I understand that I need 14 offset dials for 12 and 6 but I haven’t seen a video about the 3 and 9 index being off speck like mine is. Could somebody help me understand and tell me what dials I need since I’m out of spec at both indexes. Thanks!!!

Don’t understand what you are saying? This is the index plate that is attached to the bellhousing if that’s what you are referring to.

When you install the .014 offset dowels you can tweak them slightly to solve the other offset issue.
Furthermore, having the dial indicator offset such as it is is not doing you any favors as far as accuracy goes.

I understand what you are saying but I have the indicator mounted dead center on the crank. I’ll order a different indicator that won’t allow to me to have any offset and go back over what I did.

You can’t use the numbers you have to select dowels. With the poor positioning of the indicator, your numbers aren’t accurate. Get the indicator radially centered and on the same angle as the bell surface. Only after doing that will you have good numbers to work with. After getting good numbers, you can rotate the dowels to zero in on your target.

Here is the set up that I use. I had to build it myself since I couldn't find anyone who sold a tool that worked with my parts.

What does the 14 offset mean written at the top of the adapter?
