starter grinding

I just counted the ring gear teeth on this converter… I got 148 teeth… that’s definitely the problem… my starters don’t mesh at all with it.

Here’s a pic to show the difference… left is SB 727 TC and one on right is the 148 tooth one.

That converter should be easier to find that the real early one you've got now. I say this, but I don't know for sure. You might want to contact tcs over in Langley to see IF they might have a core you can buy. If you're calling them ask for Steve. You might want to see if they would be interested in the one you've got. Probably not, but it won't hurt to ask.
