Default Replacing flexplate..

other than the obvious difference in tooth count, what is the difference between 153 and 168 tooth plates?
I noticed the 2 different types on the web site I was going to order from and I couldnt figure out why there would be 2 types.

It looks to me that if I change out the torque converter, I'll need the 153T for the 10.75" bolt pattern.

Shoptek, I can't answer your question directly, but I have a brand new never used plate off the ZZ4 I bought. Don't know the tooth count but I can check later. If interested, pm me or something.
