What bell is this? Other than a Lakewood, I know of know others. The tooth pitch us different between the gear reduction and direct drive starters.

If your bell is for a 143 wheel, buy an aftermarket 8 bolt 143 tooth wheel.

I had a '67 Hemi Charger that someone had converted to a OEM 440 bell, 143 aftermarket wheel and a standard gear reduction starter, it worked great. My '67 Belvedere has the OEM direct drive starter, not so great. I plan to swap it over to the Rob MC/Mallory 3008.
