Gotta know how it's balanced.
If it's the stock 400 balance it'll need one FW; if it's the 305/350 balance it'll need another. Without knowing how your motor is balanced, no way I (or anyone else) can tell you which one you need. We'd have basically a 50/50 shot.
You might look at what's on it now and get the same type setup, if the current one doesn't vibe.

If the original flex plate ran right, without vibes, then whatever balance that has, is the flywheel you should buy.
Hopefully it hasn't been "custom" hacked on, a common BAD thing that happens when people screw up and allow their damper and flex plate or flywheel to EXIST in the same shop at the same time with their rotating assy.

If the flex plate has weights then its externally balance or if completely smooth on both sides its internally balance
