Flywheel teeth count?

[sbolejack]

Have a stupid question.

My '74 with a 302 and C4, is there an easy way to tell the tooth count of my flywheel?

Yes, count. Remove inspection plate. Its only 2 bolts. I marked off sections of 10 teeth with a sharpie. Mines was a 164 tooth. I'm swapping in a newer roller block 1995 302 so I needed to buy a replacement 50oz flexplate for my C4 / 302 combo. Only issue was my old torque converter was 10.5" bolt pattern and all the 50oz patterns are 11.5 (actually 11.4) so I had to request that my transmission shop order the correct converter. FYI. Good luck.

FYI, I went to Pitt State too, graduated in 2004.

Bronco is 164, car is 157.

If everything is stock, 164 tooth 10.5" bolt circle unicorn flexplate that is no longer available.

But most people don't have a full history of what has happened over the past 40+ years.

Pitt state class of '96

Speaking of Broncos and Pitt State, one of the old automotive professors (Robert Frisbee) was known to have a bronco or two stashed away in California. For the longest time someone in the printing school had a Bronco as a daily driver. Very nice original one. That was true 25 years ago, and they were on this board at one time, a very long time ago.
