It makes sense. If there is one cylinder that has higher compression than all the rest, the engine will bounce down on the compression stroke of that cylinder and tend to come to rest at the bottom.
All things equal in a V-8, rest will come in one of four places on the crank, at 90*. On an inline 6, three places at 120*

A little update:
Since I'm spending more than a few dollars having a machine shop make a nice 390 for me, I went ahead and got a new clutch, had the flywheel resurfaced, and the ring gear replaced.
Does anyone have any experience with replacing the ?pinion? gear on the starter? I'm not against buying a new starter, its just that it works fine, and is an easy fix when the time comes. I'd rather just replace the gear and keep the starter until it actually stops working.

Quick tutorial for making the degree symbol. ° °
Hold down the ALT key and then enter the number 248 or 0176 on your numeric keypad. Remember, the numeric key pad is on the right side of your key board. Holding the ALT key and using the numbers on the top of the key pad does nothing.
