351W flexplate shim
Just rebuilt my 1979 351W and have lost my flexplate shim..
this is the small ring that the flexplate bolts go through into
the end of the crank. The shim sits on the crank side of the
plate.
Parts store say there are two thicknesses .025 and.050
Using a C-6 Automatic. Any ideas which shim is correct???
THANKS for any advice

Further to my post....I took the engine/trans
out over a year ago....The parts guy says the shim
goes on the crank side, but maybe it goes on the
converter side in the depression of the flexplate.
I dunno!!!! Help

I think I have figured it out on my own.
There is apparently a thrust ring that goes on the
converter side of the flexplate. This is for distributing
the load of the six bolts. As my engine/tranny combo
had never been apart, my unit did NOT have this little
plate, as I can see where the bolts were on the flexplate.
