I know what weight is supposed to be on it. Im wanting to if I have to put the flywheel on the crank in a certain position or not since the is offset.

I am not sure I understand your question. If you are asking if there is a certain way the flywheel needs to bolt up to the crank then the answer is yeah. There is only one way that it will go on and go on correctly. You have to experiment with it and make sure it is all lined up correctly before all 5 bolts will line up and thread into the crank. Is that what you are asking?

Well kinda.

I just don twant ot put the weight on the wrong side of the crank and the thing not run right. Basically I want to know if the weight has to be at a certain position/degree on the crank to make it run properly.

I understand your question now. I am almost certain it will only line up one way. That prevents you from putting it on the wrong way. Bolt it up. If it threads in all 5 holes, you got it. You will see what I mean when you look at it. The weight stays where it is at. Good luck.

He is correct about there only being one way all the bolts will line up.

. . . however, all the 302 cranks I have seen have 6 bolts.

Okay Ill give it a try once I get the headers in.

Yea Hotrod...
the 6 holes are not all on 60º angles...a couple are off (64º and 56º) to where it will only bolt up one way.

Trust me...I had to find these angles out to make the billet flywheels.

I bought the VERY lightweight crank. It is super secret and very few are running it. The less bolts you have to use, the lighter the setup.

Well I got the headers yestersday and got them installed. It took us 3.5 hours to get the passenger side in and about 5 minutes on the driver side. I put the clywheel up to the crank to check the bolt alignment. I found the spot where it only lined up once. It didnt bolt it down though. That will be tonights work. Hopefulyl I can get the entire clutch assembly put in.
