can someone tell me the proper starter bolt pattern for my car. I have a 69 396 350hp and I want to know if the bolt pattern is a diagonal or straight across from each other?I am having a problem finding the proper starter

should be diagonal for BBC starter w/ 168 tooth 14" flywheel / flexplate.... as far as a brace, it can't hurt to have one on the starter.

Think they are the same. I have a 71 block and use a mini gear reduction starter. Mine is bolted on with inline bolts, no brace, no problem, yet.
