flywheel and bellhousing
By Craig G Robitaille - 02/04/2006 8:53:19 PM; IP 71.254.180.199
A little stuck here. New rebuilt FE 63' block. 65 Bellhousing with the longer housing to accomodate the longer starter shaft. Flywheel is a 68 FE flywheel. I was adjusting the valves today prior to start up, and the motor would not turn at all with the starter bolted in place. I have the spacer plate installed as well. Once I unbolted the starter, the motor turned freely and I finished the adjustments. Do I really need the spacer plate? I think the 68 flywheel does not like the old style Folomatic starter? Maybe the spacer plate needs to go?? Maybe a 68 starter without the long shaft??

Thanks!
Craig
