[demon340v]

Hey guys ran intoa problem today when me and my dad were putting the rest of teh demon together.

I have a 1978 360 and 727 tranny i'm un aware of the year on it. But ne ways the flex plate is off just abit on my torque converter and i have a TCI torque converter any ideas on where i can get a new flex plate?

Keep turning your conv. till they line up the bolt holes are offset so they only line up one way.Next is your conv. for a 360 if it is it will have little weights on it if it doesnt have these weights your motor will vibrate.And thats why your flex plate holes are offset.

Flexplate/converter mismatchs is a common problem. What I recommend is get a B&M SFI rated externally balance flexplate for your 360.
B&M part number #10236
These are drilled for 3 different bolt patterns. It is balanced so your converter doesn't have to be. If your converter is weighted for a 360 you will need to remove the weights.

Oh, these plates are around $75 new, but trust it is money well spent.
