B&M flex plate

You guys make this crap so confusing ..it is simple......unless the crank has mallory metal drilled into it....it is externally balanced....
externally balance engine will require either or....but not both.......externally balanced flexplast like shown above and neutral balanced (no weights) converter...OR
a weighted converter for the type of engine used.....360 in this case and a neutral balanced flexplate...

RIGHT! I don't understand the confusion myself, but @Byron Gray here's the deal.

With the flex plate you posted, you will need to REMOVE the weight or weights from your externally balanced 360 converter to use it. That's why there's a "bite" out of it. That takes the place of the weights on your converter. So, if that's the flex plate you're going to use, it requires that you remove the weights on the converter. Hopefully that makes sense.
