Hi Guys - Need a little help selecting the right flexplate for my 69 RS with a TH350. Looks like my choices are 153-tooth or 163-tooth internal balance. Which one do I need?? Thanks!!

It's 153 or 168. Which starter do you have? Are the bolts straight across (153-tooth) or staggered (168-tooth).

Hmmm...don't think I've ever had the starter out. I'll take a look this evening and let ya know. Thanks!

Luke I bought a new G111 Flywheel (Chevy 283/327/305/350) 153 tooth from Makco Dist in Rowlett TX, cost was only $20.23 !! www.bulkparts.com
Just installed it yesterday, great buy, same flywheel you would get from anywhere, but at the lowest possible price.

Well, the bolts on the starter are straight across, so it looks like I have a new 153 tooth flexplate in my future. Thanks everyone for your input!!
