Hey guys, curious if anyone knows or knows of a thread showing the proper install of the flexplate, the car has a 6 bolt swap into a 93, with the trans from a 93.

My question is mostly about the spacers, some pics show just one needed inbetween the crank and flexplate, but i was given two, just curious if I need both and in what orientation they are installed. Thanks, guys.
 
The spacers go on both sides. One on crank side, and one on tc side. Installed, the flex plate "fingers" should be close to the engine. You will notice it has a hump in the middle. Hump goes towards the tranny. Don't forget the insert that slides into the crank. That goes in first, then spacer, then fp, then spacer, and lock tite the brand new bolts you bought. When you put the tc bolts in, locktite those also.
 
Thanks man, that's what I was thinking, thanks for the confirmation!
