This should be EZ to find at autoparts stores, but if you want a gen-u-ine Ford original, I found dozens of them at FoMoCo Dealers, obsolete parts vendors.

The last MSRP was $245.83, dealer net cost was $147.50. Because the part is obsolete, the dealers can no longer return it to Ford, so are STUCK with it.

DON SANDERSON FORD in Glendale AZ has THREE (623-842-8762) and usually sells obsolete parts at below their original net cost.

There is another flexplate that has 164 teeth. It was used in full sized Fords with 289's and FX Cruise-O-Matic, and on 1978/80 302's.

Note the edited in info regarding I-6 flywheels in post #

Ok this is what I ordered from autoxone, please let me know if it is the correct one please;

I cannot tell by pictures. I can only go by Ford part and/or ID engineering numbers.

How many teeth does it have? 157 is correct, 164 is not.

Eaton Balancing Engine Balancing, Part 2

Thanks for the link on balancing Yblocks. I have one now and I don't know much about them. So far it works good, but I don't know the history of it, except that its been a long time since its last rebuild. So I'm picking up info when i see it in anticipation of someday needing to get into it.
