Re: [AMC-List] Flywheel Ring Gear

[Frank Swygert <farna@xxxxxxx>]

Only the 196 and early 199/232/258 (up to 1971) had a different tooth
count and diamter. The 72 and later 232/259/4.0L have the same diamtere 
flywheel and tooth count. The ring gears are at different locations
though -- one is closer to the starter than the other. Sounds like Ed
has the one that's further away and isn't getting good tooth
engagement. IIRC the 232/258 ring gear is further from the starter than 
the 4.0L ring gear. All the small gear driven starters I've seen for
these engines are basically the 4.0L starter. I'm not sure if the ring
gear can be repositioned or not -- should be doable though, maybe with
a new gear.
