BeenJaminJames Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 So after several months of procrastination I'm finally getting around to finishing the HO swap I started a while back. Unfortunately the flexplate got moved around a few times, and I have no idea which is the old '88 renix flexplate and which one came off the HO motor. How can I tell the difference?

Jeep Driver Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 No, they won't be the same. Two different ignition systems. Maybe you could post a pic of each and someone here can identify them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeenJaminJames Posted August 6, 2014 Author Share Posted August 6, 2014 If I had a camera, I'd post pics, but I don't. :roll: The only difference between them is the trigger wheel. One has 12 slots, arranged in groups of four evenly spaced around the wheel. The other has 60 slots, 3 of which are much wider than the rest and are evenly spaced around the wheel. Neither one seems to have any "missing teeth" or any way to locate tdc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruiser54 Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 The one with 60 small slots separated by 3 long slots is Renix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeenJaminJames Posted August 6, 2014 Author Share Posted August 6, 2014 Awesome! Cruiser every time I turn around you're right there with good information, right on point. It's guys like you (and a few others) who are willing to put in the time and effort to contribute, that make this forum what it is. :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
