After correcting a few things on re-assembly like using the larger bearing retainer and ‘dialing’ the bellhousing to the new block my stock starter works perfectly with the 157 tooth ring gear on the stock flywheel!!
I’m much relieved as the prospect of another re & re is just a bit much and I’ve already put the shoehorn away… lol!
I was worried that my new Edelbrock ‘air-gap’ manifold would be a bit high but with a Holley 4150 and stock air cleaner there’s about 5/8″ at the front corners and more at the rear!! Whew!
