    I did some digging and it appears I need a 157 tooth flexplate but just want to be sure. What did stock Comet GT's come with 157 tooth or 164 tooth?

    Just want to confirm before I buy. Thanks for your help!

    I'm thinking the bellhousing determens the flexplate...large bell 164, small bell 157.
    250/302 large, 170/200 small.

    No Mav/Comet used a big bell bell with 302 or any other engine... Assuming stock trans, you need a 157T flexplate...

    The 200 used a tiny bell, not nearly as large as the 157T used in 250 or 302......
