Re: [Classic Mustang] New Starter grinds

Well now they are telling me the flywheel in my car is for a
conversion and has 164 teeth and a stock flywheel for my car has 157.
So that is why it is grinding. They are saying I need a starter
ff\rom a 1979-1988 mustang. Sound familiar to anyone out there? Thanks
