teeth on flywheel
How can I make sure that my flywheel teeth count are matching up with my starter. When I changed the block from 283 to the 350 I used the old flywheel because it mated up to my powerglide. However, I cant seem to find a starter that doesnt have issues with mating up to my flywheel. I might get one start before I have to start messing with shims and then it still doesnt work!!!!
This mess gets 5of5 flaming heads of frustration!

Re: teeth on flywheel
Hi Vic,
How many teeth does your ring gear have, 153 or 168? If it's 153, you're looking for a starter where the mounting bolts are directly across from each other (perpendicular to the crankshaft). If it's 168, you need a starter where the bolts are staggered. Then you start using shims until you get it right.

Re: teeth on flywheel
The 283 flywheel will not work on a 350. You need to get the bigger 168-tooth flywheel. It will still bolt up to the Powerglide.

Re: teeth on flywheel
well i used the flywheel from my old 283 and it started up fine. until i replaced the starter. Now with my new starter it doesnt work. when i matched up the 350 flywheel i purchased to the powerglide the holes didnt match up.
This relates to my question. Might I already had a 350 flywheel / starter? I bought a 283 starter thinking that its what I had that worked. But it doesnt. So im trying to see if i cant get a tooth count and make sure I get the correct starter. Im guessing there is no easy way of counting them huh! |

Re: teeth on flywheel
The 283's and 327's have starters that have their mounting bolts straight across from eachother. The later 350 starters have staggered bolts. Which does yours have?
