I looked under the car and i was able to pull a part number of 14088671 N GM1 off of my flywheel. I want to make sure that i have the right starter for this to avoid any problems. The starter i'm using is a powermaster High torque starter 9600. The starter says it is adjustable for both 168/153 tooth flywheels. Anybody have any idea how many teeth my flywheel has? Also does anyone know how to adjust the starter for either flywheel?Thanx

 

if you have the stock transmission you have a 153 tooth flywheel... i suppose it would be adjusted by swaping the drive gear...

 

most starters that ive seen that will work on both the 153 and 168 tooth flywheels, have 2 set of mounting holes. the closer set fo the small the wheel and further set for the larger wheel

 

That is the was the 9600 is also , 2 sets of holes for 153/168 tooth flywheels/flexplates . it is also clockable for clearance issues .
