Way back in high school I helped a buddy do an engine change in his 57
Chebby and we put the clutch disc in backwards.
Never made that mistake again!

And be sure the clutch plate is in correctly and not reversed.  You only do
that once because the motor has to come back out to get it right.  I know
from experience many years ago.  Ken
