Some of the early BB motors came with spacers bewteen the starter and the 727 beallhousing as well as the torque converter dust sheild, not sure about the SB Mr.Cab Racing and winning with Mopars since 1964.

There is definately something in the shape of a half moon right next to the starter that looks to be machine cut and will not come off easy, looks sort of yellow. Just curious if should have installed some double sided tape or something.
