-----Question-----
hello I had to replace the engine with a 92 model 4 cyl and the flywheels look different. I installed the flywheel off the 89 engine to the 92. The engine wouldn't start with the flywheel off the 92. The 89 flywheel, the car starts, idles rough, and very weak on power. What is the proper position of the flywheel to be in time?
-----Answer-----
Richie,
If your car does not have a flywheel pick up sensor then the flywheel can go on any way. If it does send me a fax number or e-mail address so I can send a copy of the position.

Answer
Richie,
Ok I have a description of the correct placement along with a photo, however I can not attach it to this page. I can e-mail it or fax it, as long as you get for me an e-mail address or a fax number. Here is the text that I copied and pasted.
