Fly wheel starter ring.

[circlepilot]

1965 Barracuda 225, 4 speed conversion. The fly wheel (122T) I'm going to use has one broke tooth. I want to change it out. My 65 MOPAR parts manual calls for a 2121196 starter ring gear. When I go to the many vendors and use that number, I get..."for an automatic transmission." The torque converter I'm replacing for a clutch and fly wheel does not have a removeable ring gear. What's the deal? Is the 2121196 the right ring gear?

They maybe the same, I will check my 63 parts catalog and see.

In the 63 catalog they are the same for flywheel or torque converter they do list 2 different ones, but I suspect that is for gear reduction starter or non-gear reduction starter. 2121196 w/o the letter R and 2121195 with the letter R, I believe with the letter R identifies as a gear reduction starter. The non reduction starter was an early use and may have been continued in Canada later than the US.

I had to edit the above a few times, but it is correct to best of my knowledge now.

By any chance, were you at the Turkey Run in Daytona?

Not in recent years my RA kind of prevents that, but I used to go every year, the same for the Garlits Museum Mopar show, both in November.

My second time there. Kind of disappointing...not very many A Bodies.
