I am in the process of bolting up a 1954 chevy powerglide transmission to my 1954 6 cly and having problems with the alignment of the flywheel. Converting to a 12 volt system so I have a 160+ tooth flywheel from a later model 6. Now I need to line up the "X" on the flywheel with the "X" on the torque converter when I bolt them correct. My problem is my flywheel does not have the "X" stamp on either side of it. I cleaned the flywheel up really well and still no luck in finding the stamp on either side. Now there is a triangle and timing marks on the flywheel facing the engine - how can I determine the correct flywheel position or will it not be a big issue? would appreciate some advice. Thanks!!!

The flywheel to converter will bolt up in all directions. Thanks for the follow up. Now to finish the install =====

I failed to mention that on the transmission side of the flywheel there was a dab of white paint which I was a bit puzzled about and dismissed. Seemed odd until I read the 62 service manual which states that there is a white paint "stripe" on the heavy side of the flywheel that should be aligned with the blue paint "strip" on the torque converter when reassembling the transmission to engine. I must have a flywheel from a later model chevy. Luckly I made note of where it was>
