Flexplate installation 460/C6 TRANS

I don't know if the weights on the flexplate face away or towards the engine and can't find that info anywhere. We're out there now and want to get the tranny bolted up today. PLEASE help meee!

I think they go towards the eng, but there should be wittness marks on the flexplate where the nuts were (round mark) and where the converter was (rectangle?)

yeah...you're right. They go towards the engine. Actually...the bolt pattern only lined up one way. It was a new flexplate so there was nothing to reference. The engine and trans and the trans crossmember went in yesterday so it was a good day! Thanks for the help
