'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.

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.
