168-tooth or 153-tooth flywheel?

I have tried searching this topic with no luck. I have a 74-76 350 with a 2 peice rear main seal and a T-5 transmission with stock bell housing. Which flywheel should i purchase? I can get a 168 or 153 tooth for my engine. I haven't purchased a starter yet, so that doesn't matter. Any help would be appreciated

The 153 unless you plan to run an 11" clutch. What's the part # on the bell housing?

Get the 153 tooth - 168 tooth will not fit inside a T5 bellhousing.

Like the others said, you want the 153 tooth flywheel. Btw, I have a billet steel 2pc 153 tooth flywheel that I no longer need. I bought it new and it still is in great shape. $75 shipped.
