# of teeth on flexplate for 81' 350

Since my donor motor does not have a flex plate on it, I am wondering about the flexplate. Should I get one with 153 or 168 teeth?

Which starter is bolted on? If the bolts are aligned, then 153. One bolt is longer than the other. If the bolts are the same size and staggered, 168 tooth.

No started bolted on guys. Everything was taken off before I got it and loaded up on the truck. I will check when I go by my folks place next. My old man wants me to get some of my crap out of his garage any way..........
