ok, im half way through my T-56 swap, Im trying to put on the Centerforce D/F and the directions say to be sure and use the alignment dowels if they were originally used. there are extra non-threaded holes on the flywheel and P/P.

is that what those are for??
where do I get the Dowel pins?

im using a flywheel from a 75 chevy 454 1ton
and a Clutch and P/P setup from a 72'454 chevelle.
thanx guys

Both the crank and flywheel have an additional hole for a dowel pin. This is the ONLY location where it is important to line up the flywheel, as long as you line up these 2 holes, the dowel pin is unnecessary. The clutch itself is SUPPOSED to have a neutral balance, therefore it doesn't matter which holes of the pressure plate are mated to holes of the flywheel.
Those extra non-threaded holes in the flywheel were for balancing the flywheel.
