caperix Posted July 8, 2018 Share Posted July 8, 2018 I just wanted to share this in case anyone else makes the same mistake as me. Not all early small blocks are drilled for both starter patterns, preventing use of the 158 tooth flywheel needed for most overdrive manual transmissions. Goodson tool makes a jig to drill the missing hole, here is the link. https://goodson.com/products/sdj-1-starter-drill-jig I was able to do it with a hand drill & keep the hole straight, I think it may also be useful if you ever need to drill a broken starter bolt out of the block.
