Have you tried both patterns on the flywheel? There are 2 bolt patterns on that flywheel/flexplate.

The wide bolt pattern. Measure from the bolt circle to the middle and times that number x2.

Don't measure bolt hole to bolt hole. Measure the bolt hole to the center of the converter and times that measurement x2

Exactly what Gee101 said. Here is a pic of what he is explaining:

edit: please ignore the diameter symbols on there. It's the distance x 2. For some reason I had diameter stuck in my head.
