flywheel alignment?

New engine is going in later this week :yippee:

I noticed in the Haynes manual that you are supposed to mark the Flywheel so you can re-allign it. I'm putting a Fidanza flywheel on the new motor, is there any certain way it is supposed to line up?

the fidanza bolts are, i believe, 5/16-18.
