Can you spot the anomaly in this picture, it's fairly obvious.

Not familiar with autostick motors, but do they normally have 6 dowelpins mating crank to the torque converter/flywheel?

Good question actually those are threaded to use bolts to walk the plate off without prying |

Yes rivets are loose, you can see oil stains from centrifugal force around the holes. In this case it was quicker and cheaper to source another flex plate. |

Followup- was I supposed to order those replacement rivets for you?

If so I will get right on that.

unknown engine came out for another reason. I've got a rivet gun and an assortment of bucking bars. I've done steel rivets before, heck I've got a micro shaver and a counter bore to make the upset head look uniform when done.

Well what happened was, I dropped a torque converter bolt down into the bell housing while installing that engine (this was on the 72 super I bought last year.)  I had done that before on my 69 and when I started the engine it simply spat the bolt out. But on this one it jammed the flex plate and locked the engine. Those rivets loosened up as a result. Surprisingly, no harm done to block and internals (although we did replace the bearings.)

Wait--was this not the one off my 72 super?
