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.
