Great, I have the flange-to-gear teeth measurement on the current starter, to compare to the turbo starter when it comes in. The other thing you will have to check is the direction of rotation. Another solution is to mill down the adapter plate and start flange to get it to stick out another 0.37. Could probably get away with 0.17 on each for a total of 0.34.

Dave,

Still waiting for the Turbo Starter to get here...........Probably by Wednesday as it is coming from

near Ft Worth, Tx to Okla City...................So should know before long if the starter and ring gear

mismatch can be solved with a simple starter change..............As of this moment have not heard

from the "ACT" flywheel manuf. about the 9.8 lb flywheel ring gear teeth # but my bet is it is the

same as the 13.8 lb flywheel with 2 more lbs whittled off of it !!...............
