Allright, then you have to use a flywheel or flexplate off of a 300-6. 300's are internally balanced while a 302 is externally balanced.
Also all of the flexplates and flywheels for a 300 have the same bolt pattern between the crank flange and the plate.
Try rotating the flywheel or flexplate, it may only bolt on one way.

so you are saying that the flexplate from the 1986 300 - 6 that had an automatic will fit on the 1982 300 - 6 that had a granny for speed behind it, so all 300 - 6cylinder fly wheels should be the same then ?
