Pressure plate question

I've got a quick question, I pulled the 351m out of my truck to put in a 390. I got a flywheel from summit and checked to see if my 351m pressure plate would work but the holes don't line up. I just wanted to find out if they are not interchangeable or if my flywheel isn't right.

I don't know the answer, but here's a clue. My McLeod flywheel came with two different pressure plate bolt patterns. So I suspect they must be accomodating two mounting styles of pressure plates.

What size clutch? 10 1/2" or 11?

There usually is mutiple bolt patterns on flywheels, but maybe you have an old one. What brand wheel? Even if called "summit brand", they come in the box from the actual manufacturer.

I went to Advance and got a clutch kit and it lines up with the holes on the new one so they must be just a little different bolt pattern. Thanks for your input though.
