Wrong starter nose on my 66 Hemi satellite

[Dragon Slayer]

Also, Doesn't the nose go into a pocket of the bell house. Maybe there is sufficient clearance for you to mill off the mount. Don't know.

George - the nose piece is stamped 3924. I assume it’s properly a nose intended for a 67-69 Hemi 172 tooth flywheel. But most places advertise these starters with the longer nose as serviceable for 66-69 Hemi engines. And they will mesh and turn over a 66 but they don’t fully mate with the ring gear on a 66 flywheel. The starter seats on the bell-housing and the nose protrudes inside. There’s plenty of clearance inside the bell housing bulge for the nose to be milled and seated .010” deeper.
