You're right, Jerry (Hotrod)... I looked again (now that it is dry under the truck after cleaning off the 65 years of oil that turned into dirty grease) and there are 3 dowels... Thanks for the info on sealing the bolts. I was planning on using Blue LocTite. I did not know that LocTite would also seal the holes. I also just had a good friend tell me the same regarding ignoring the heat cracks.

Thanks, "klhansen". Yes, I noticed the offset in the holes as well. Yes, I am replacing the clutch and pressure plate. I checked RockAuto, and they do not show a clutch kit with a matching flywheel. They are separate, and although you can get the clutch kit, they do not have the correct flywheel. So much for their "ALL THE PARTS YOUR CAR WILL EVER NEED"!!

I plan to go to my local machine shop on Monday and see what they can do with the original flywheel since it seems I cannot get a replacement.
