My advice is to pull the inspection cover off the front of the bell housing and look at your current one. If there is a weight attached, you need a balanced one, if not then you need a neutral flex plate.

It would be less confusing if you had posted all the info. 1980/86: There are THREE different 164T flex plates for 4.9L (300 I-6).

What year is it? Which A/T does it have? C4, C5, C6 or AOD?
