What is the correct flex plate for a 1979 buick 3.8 ltr v-6 engine?

There isn't a single definitive answer for the correct flexplate for a 1979 Buick 3.8L V6 engine. The correct flexplate depends on the specific transmission used behind that engine. Different transmissions require different flexplates (different bolt patterns, diameters, and possibly even tooth counts).

To find the correct flexplate, you must know the transmission type. Common transmissions for that era Buick 3.8L might include:

* TH125C: This is a common possibility.

* 200-4R: Another possibility. (Less likely, but possible depending on trim and options).

* Possibly others: There might be other less common transmissions used.

You will need to:

1. Identify your transmission: Check the transmission identification tag (usually on the side of the transmission case).

2. Use that information to find the correct flexplate: Use the transmission identification number to search online parts databases (like RockAuto, AutoZone, Advance Auto Parts, etc.) or consult a Buick parts catalog specific to 1979 models. The year and engine are helpful too.

Providing the transmission type will allow for a more accurate answer.
