stupid question but do the raised parts at each hole in the flexplate for the torque converter face out towards the transmission or inward toward the engine?
Im assuming they face out because the counter weight on the flex plate should be facing towards the engine, correct?

sorry for the question but all the info i could find were on high performance ones that weren't stamped out

the raised section faces toward the torque converter there should be holes in the dimples to bolt the torque converter

Also, if you look at the center hole one side will have a sharp edge and the other will have a radius. The radius edge goes on first on the crank to match

An easier way to tell is the ring gear for the starter. The Beveled side of the teeth should face the same side the starter is on.
