[Chevelle-list] Stupid Question

[Jason Fiegel]

I have a 69 chevelle with a 350 and 350 trans, is it possible to put the flex plate on backwards?  the reason I ask, is because it would start, then it seems to miss the fly wheel once in awhile now the starter just spins. I looked at the teeth and they seem to be worn on just part of the flywheel. Thanks in advanced Jason
