Y block with standard four speed transmission, 146 tooth ring gear. When Flywheel removed, no spacer suggesting stock flywheel had been resurfaced. Replace old 146 tooth ring gear with new one and reinstall. Swap original stock starter (assumption) with new high torque starter. What do I have to be looking for to make sure the fist time I crank over the starter I don't clash the starter drive with the flywheel? When I install the new ring gear, there is no provisions to line up the teeth with the starter drive and I did not mark the location of the original. Should I have done this before removing it and if I didnt, how do I get myself out of this mistake? Im thinking the starter gear is designed to come out and engage with the flywheel regardless of the position of the ring gear on the flywheel.
