Flex Plate Clocking

Can any one tell me how the balanced weight on the flex plate is supposed to be clocked? I noticed that their are three "slots" inline with the weight and I know that there must be  proper way to install the darned thing, but before I wasted time on researching the subject, I thought I'd ask you guys.

Thanks!

If you mean how to install the flexplate, the holes only line up one way. :)

Um..ok.  So are you saying that the 6 holes, that would appear to be equidistant are not, and thus the flex plate can only be bolted to the crank one way?

Ok, thanks.  I have spent my vacation yanking and replacing Dad's Exploder motor, so I didn't want to have to do it twice.
