OK what's going on here starting to bolt my pressure plate up to the flywheel on a 292 stock 3 speed flywheel the holes in the fly wheel are nether 1/4 or 5/16 the threads look OK not trashed what size is stock/supposed to be ?

Flywheel to crank 75 to 85 Lbs. Plate to flywheel 12 to 15 LBS. These are per my trusty factory Shop Manual.

What?

Thanks a bunch

Machine shop should be able to redrill and tap the P/P holes at another location on the flywheel.

Oldmics

Reason I did not redrill is the shop showed me too many defects such as heat cracks already been resurfaced at least once let alone the botched up holes and they charge $85 per hour to relocate and drill & tap holes I got a whole resurfaced flywheel with new bolt sets changed my starter gear out the door for $110

Make sure the bolts are not too long, or the engine will not turn.

It is what FORD called from in the original Factory manuals, so i go with what FORD says.
