I forgot to mention, the timing marks on the flywheel are used when
setting the valve timing and have nothing to do with the distributor
timing that is generally done using the timing marks on the front
crankshaft pulley.

Not a dumb question at all. I can't speak for the RAM clutch assembly,
but for the normal stock clutch...

1. It doesn't matter how the clutch hub goes on.
2. The flywheel has timing marks on it that are only correct when it is
bolted on in the correct position on the crankshaft.
3. The pressure plate and the flywheel have teeth marked for alignment -

so that the springs align properly with the holes.
4. It doesn't matter how the clutch plates or the intermediate plate go
on. They just need to be centered up nicely so that the clutch hub will
easily fit upon reassembly.

Here's a dumb question. Why does your clutch hub need to be
aligned according to TDC or anything else?
