Here -- go buy a 139 tooth flexplate...

There are also MANY 142 tooth flexplates AND flywheels for MANY chevrolet engines small and big block.

Since we have no idea of the SOURCE for his parts - might just double check!
I still don't understand why you stated this:

"There are three different flywheel "tooth counts"... and some starters might only mesh with one or the other. One is 142 teeth, one is 158 teeth - the other is 163"

So why no mention of the most common 153 and 168?

Then you give a link to a 139 count, which also isn't included your three set of numbers.

When I search flexplate on the summit website, flexplate-Chevrolet, I get that one with 139, 25 at 153, and 42 with 168 .

Not trying to argue, just wondering.
