since its a 327 i would say that its a 10.5" clutch setup that uses the 153 tooth flywheel

The bell housing of a 153 tooth has sort of a squared off corner the starter mounts in. The 168 tooth (621) bell housing has more of a rounded bulge. Look at a few GM bell housings on ebay, youo'll see what I mean.
Btw, my 68 small block 4 speed had a 153 tooth.
