Subject: [FlyRotary] Another flex plate thread

Hi All,

   Okay, now the "newbie" in me is really going to show.  
Earlier in the year I picked up an engine - for a rather
"friendly" price.  As time has gone along, I'm finding
more a more things that I missed on the pre-purchase
inspection.  I still got a good deal for a "bare block",
but now I'm having to find parts "blind".  I don't know
what they're supposed to look like.

   The flywheel end of my eccentric shaft is just a taper
with a key.  So I'm missing some sort of a hub upon which
my new flexplate (Thanks, Dave L.!) is supposed to mount.
My handy-dandy Chilton manual yields not a clue.  Yeah, I
know, I need to stop at Checker and pickup the Haynes
book.

   So, before I start searching the local Mazda dealer
for parts and pieces, I need to know if I even got a
useable flex plate. Here are two photos of my "new" part.  
Can someone tell me if I got the right one for 86-88?  Or
how to identify it?  And how to indentify the counter-
weight?  The torque converter mount holes are about 9/32"
apart.

ADVthanksANCE,
Dale R.
