'79 460 automatic flex plate

My flexplate needs to be replaced because it has a few bad spots, and I want to order a new one before I tear it all apart. Not sure on the tooth count or the measurements for the converter bolt pattern.

TWO different flexplates used in 1979 460's as it depends on internal or external balance.

D1SZ-6375-A (replaced C8SZ-6375-A) .. Flexplate - Use without weighted crank spacer, with block casting number D1VE-6015-AB

1968/73 429 / 1968/78 and some 1979 460's.

D9TZ-6375-A .. Flexplate - Use with weighted crank spacer, with block casting number D9TE-6015-AB

Some 1979 460's, 1980/97 460.

You should first verify what bill said, about the internal/external balance and I just go to the parts store and ask for one for a 460 c6 it has always been right.
