72/73 AMC flexplate pic

[dharmabum]

Does anyone have a picture of the correct AMC flexplate that works with the crank spacer on 72/73s or some way to measure one? I have ended up with two different flexplates but the teeth are messed up on the one that I think is correct. The other one is okay but it looks like it would sit wrong with the crank spacer? This is for a 360 to a 72 TH400 but a 304 one should be close enough to get the measurements from. Thanks

My 360 flexplate looks nothing like that gsmikie. Dharmabum, I'm emailing you a jpeg of the tranny diagram from the 62-73 parts catalog.

Thanks for the email pic, it realy helps alot!!! That is the one I have that I thought was correct. Maybe I will swap ring gears, or should I spring for a new one?

Spring for a new one; they're not that expensive. I had just a ring gear replaced and it came apart from the plate in no time.

Yeah, I took a look at it this morning and it looks like a real pain to swap anyway. I found a new one for $62 so I guess I will go for that.
