Paul,
What is the process involved in converting a manual engine to an Auto Flexplate style apart from
just removing the manual fly-wheel and putting on the flex-plate.

From what I'm told the optimum method is to balance the eccentric shaft and auto flegplate with
the front balance plate (off an automatic).

Apparently this can also be done without pulling down the engine by adding a rear balance weight
to the Auto flexplate. My question is how do they actually get it all to balance properly.

You need the right balance weights front and back  for that year engine.
