Thanks for all the grief Mikie. Yep I think it has been 25 years or it sure feels like it. I am just getting lazy I guess, hell I remember swapping engines just to better match course conditions in the old days. Not so much anymore.

I need to replace the ring gear on my flywheel. A (new) p.o.s. gear drive starter I installed had ANS bolts inserted in metric tapped holes in the assembly of the starter. When the motor fell off it jammed the bendix into the flywheel and tore teeth from the ring gear. Made me so mad I just cursed every time I looked at the car. It is about time to pull the engine and fix her. Thanks again Mikie.... bite me!
