Re: [AMC-List] Flywheel Ring Gear

We ended up coming to the same conclusion.  Every time we counted  teeth and 
eyeballed these things...they look the same.  New ring gear and  new starter 
drive should fix this.
 
All the best,

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.
