i need to get a gear reduction starter so that i can bump the timing up on my engine.i don't know how many teeth are on a stock t5 flywheel. also in jegs the starter im looking at says it fit chevy sb with 153-168 tooth flywheels. does that mean that, that one starter will work with both tooth counts. this is that starter that im looking at:

if someone could help me out soon that would be great. thanks alot

 

The stock T-5 flywheel has 153 teeth. That starter should work fine for either 153 tooth or 168 tooth flywheel.

 

thanks you very much

 

watch out, the bigger flywheel (168 teeth) will not work with the starter that originally fit with a 153 tooth flywheel. WIth The bigger diamater, the starter will have to have a different position on the block. The mounting bolt holes are offset differently.

 

i think i have the 153 tooth flywheel. i order that starter from above so i'll find out if it fits.
