Don't know what FE I have!

Hi all, and FE I am sure you will chime in.

I bought what is tagged as a 66 390. Everything says oat a 66 but the crank is odd. I attempted to put both a flex plate of a 360 and a fly wheel off a 390 and the bolt holes do not line up. It fits with no slop over the crank but can only line up 4 of the 6 bolt holes. Both flex plate and fly wheel are off of late 60s early 70s trucks. Oh and engine was out of a 66 Galaxie waggon.

What do I have or don't have? Only 4 bolts holding on a fly wheel can work...but not smart to do.

Thanks,
Coal

If they don't line up you have to rotate it, see if that lines up. If not, rotate it again, see if that lines up, etc. Even a 429 wheel will bolt up.
