Flexplate teeth & starter bolt pattern
Can you tell the flexplate teeth number by the starter mounting bolt locations? For example does the staggered mounting bolts mean a 168 tooth flexplate? Or does an in-line bolt pattern mean a 153 tooth?

To answer your question. No small block vettes came with a 168. Starter mounts often came with the different mount holes for either. Guys in the Know use 168. Hey - George said that his only regret is that he didn't take you out for a ride on the open freeway! :lol: I work swing shift and weekends dealing cards or you could have seen how he helped me into using a Crane solid lifter motor.
I'm happy. The funny thing is mine has been running for Ten years! :cheers:

Would have been great to have met you while in Reno. I'm looking forward to returning to your fun town and will look forward to meeting you & checking out your Vette. I dunno about taking rides again with you Reno guys. LOL

I just saw this post. Since your drag racing at what point do they require SFI rated flex plates and dampers? I drive around with the dust cover plate off on my 700R4 just so I can pass tech. I also use the SFI fluid damper.
Next time you will be safer with my new 9.90 class NHRA roll cage. Bring your own fire suite and Snell 90 helmet.
