This just sucks but guess its just the way it is.
Thanks for the info geezer

That's one way, and, might I add, the most difficult way, because you may run into trouble locating one of those early bellhousings.. The simplest way to solve the problem is to swap flywheels.. Do what geezer#99 said -- match the flywheel to the starter.. You need a 153 tooth flywheel.
