Need flex plate for '79 turbo

[dmarx]

I currently have a very minor vibration in my engine that I can feel in the steering wheel. I have isolated it to the engine and not the front end/suspension. My first thought is to replace the flex plate, however, several issue have come up. Is the flex plate external or internally balanced? There are 4 listed listed thru NAPA with only one available. How do I tell which is the correct plate? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Is it the number of round holes and crescents in the plate? If so, how do I tell which fits my engine. By engine serial number?
Thanks to all who reply.

Dan, Have you tried running the engine with the mechanical fan, water pump and all the accessories disconnected to eliminate them as causing the vibration?
