Flex plate location

I'm putting a rebuilt motor in my 74. The motor has a "heavy weighted" harmonic balancer in place. I've got to install my matching weighted flex plate on the rear of the crank. How do I mount the flex plate to correspond to the harmonic balancer so I don't end up with a vibration? Thanks, Goodfoot

The bolt holes will only line up in one position. I had the same question about installing a flywheel on a 1995 351w. Someone said that they only line up in one place. Sure enough the bolts only line up perfectly in one position.
