From: Littleton, CO USA
Car: 82 Berlinetta/57 Bel Air
Engine: L92/LQ4 (both w/4" stroke)
Transmission: 4L80E/4L80E
Axle/Gears: 12B-3.73/9"-3.89
Just get a flywheel for the year of the engine. Don't worry yourself over "internal" or "external" balance, because there are issues with definitions there, and even if I explain that your 305 is internally balanced, the presence of a weight (on the flexplate, at least - you have an automatic or manual transmission?) will just confuse the issue.

'86-up = one-piece rear main seal, 153-tooth flexplate/flywheel.

'85-earlier = two-piece rear main seal, 153-tooth flexplate/flywheel.

That's all you need to know.
