Small block / power glide flex plate

I finally found the problem.ried changed their bell housing in about 2008.they made the bell housing and the flex plate as a set.they stopped making flex plates and changed the bell housing. I'm the unlucky one that got a $200 lesson on the history of Reid bell housings. I have a 1998 bell and the block flange to the pump is 7.84" I don't know yet what the newer version is.and believe it or not jw performance is the people that figured it out.ried didn't even get it rt. Still don't have a plate yet.but it's looking better
