I know most of you guys are running a manual transmission so I hope someone might have an extra Buick 215 flexplate lying around.. It cannot be an Olds flexplate.. it has to be the Buick one that looks like this.

Would a Rover 3500 flexplate work for you? I'm sure I have one of those.

Holy cow, I tossed two of those in the scrap bin just last month. I thought nobody would ever want them.

Oh yeah, I still have an Olds auto trans "flexplate" which is really a flywheel. Anyone want it? It came off of a Jetfire.

That a bummer about the flexplates Dave.. I always seem to "just" miss out when people have stuff..

The Olds flexplates are quite a but different from the Buick ones..It wont work for my application.

Put it up on craigslist or Evilbay before I tossing it..They dont make this stuff anymore.

Sorry Tony, it turns out that's not it. Best I can do is a ring gear.

Question....Can the Buick flexplate be used on an Olds 215? Balance wise are the Olds and Buick 215 crank and rotating assemblies the same?
I would be running an adapter setup with a GM 200 R4
