164 tooth vs 157 tooth
My C-4 gear Vendor over/underdrive uses a 157 toth flywheel not a 164 like the AOD did.
The starter will not engage the 157 tooth flywheel, i;m assuming its overall diameter is smaller.
Any idea;s on how i proceed? Is there a starter with a larger cogged end i should be using.
I have not run into this problem before & have no clue as to a fix
Help!!! _________________ roger powell

You didn't end up with a large (164 tooth) C4 did you Roger? I am stumped too. Haven't heard of this problem unless you should be using a 164 tooth plate. AOD works great. Don't think it has the lower first gears though. _________________ Steve 64 S/C big brakes 8.8 rear 289 lentech AOD, strut front suspension

flex or no
The tranny builder is the guy who told me to get the 157 tooth because i had a small bell C-4, he builds em all the time so i gotta assume he;s right.
He says there is a starter specific to this small bell/157 tooth set up, i;m trying to source now.
I;m positive the AOD has the low first, going by a run with my neighbours AOD equipped late model stang, unless he had some kind of tall first, it sure is!another day of this & i may ask for that AOD back! _________________ roger powell

bell
Wouldn;t you know it, because the bell was a bolt on the tranny guy asumed it was a small 157 tooth , it ain;t ,its the 164 toth flywheel.
so, out comes the tranny again, and the convertor won;t fit of course.
so, at least they are re-reing at their cost.
JPT is taking back the convertor for a good 280 stall to fit.
Just so you know, TCI does make a bell housing to replace the stock C-4 bel that wil accomodate both 164-157 tooth flywheels & is drilled for any starter combo including powermaster Hi-torgs, which i am using.
Steve:
I talked to Nolans Racing & the first gear is a perf. parts Ford low first . Not the lowest but to compliment the other 3 ratios as suggested by Lentech Racing Trans. _________________ roger powell

thanks
I think we are back on track, at least with the 62.
Manw2mercs at another site sent me part #;s for the small flywheel starter combo for the "other" build so i may take you up on some info as i get into that build,
appreciate your help & will let you know hiw it goes.
the performance shop is asking me to send all the info you guys have provided, i guess most of the shops, in this area anyeway have realized that they better get their Ford info together as we are not going away! _________________ roger powell
