    There are atleast 3 bolt holes on the flex plate these attach the flex plate to the converter. The indent is toward the crank. There also should be a flange on the crank opening which faces the converter see pics.

    If I read your drawing right you have it wrong. The flange in the crank opening should face away from the crank. If it was backwards you would bow the plate by tighting it down to the crank.

    thanks. This is a TCI unit and not a GM one with the flange/lip. That is why I can put it on either way. Thanks. for the info. When I get home I will look about the converter mounting indents.
