Graeme Posted December 11, 2002 Share Posted December 11, 2002 I have just bought a 327 chev for my 260 without a flywheel or flex plate. It has a starter, is there any way to identify whether the starter is 153 or 168 tooth? Thanks Graeme Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Phil1934 Posted December 11, 2002 Share Posted December 11, 2002 153 has bolt holes straight across. 168 has them staggered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graeme Posted December 11, 2002 Author Share Posted December 11, 2002 It actually has bolt holes for both? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike C Posted December 11, 2002 Share Posted December 11, 2002 The block has bolt holes for both. The 168 tooth flywheel is 14" across. The 153 tooth is 12.5" across. Some aftermarket starters have straight across pattern for use with the 14" flywheel, and some have two sets of bolt holes to work with both flywheels.
