STARTER RING GEAR?
Does anybody know what year the MoCo started using this type of ring gear.

Re: STARTER RING GEAR?
Pictured is the earlier clutch shell, or basket, 1965-1969. The ring gear was repositioned for the 1970 and newer models. I know this does not answer your question.....

Re: STARTER RING GEAR?
I have the same three piece ring gear on my '68. Parts book lists starter ring gear as 33163-65B, and '65 was first year for electric start, so I'd say it has to be 1965. The parts book makes no distinction between the 3-piece "laminated" ring gear and the later solid one. Just says "65 to Early 84".

Re: STARTER RING GEAR?
Thanks for the replys. The reason I asked was I was kind of using the three piece as a positive identification for an OEM vice aftermarket drum. I know both types came from the MoCo. I guess I should have asked if there were another way to Identify the OEM over the aftermarket. Every once in a while I see a smoking deal on someones primary "take offs" My Tedds drum doesn't sit well in the back of my mind.

Hogey....
The tranny is gone. An eBay deal that I'm not particularly fond of because of shipping charges and a dead beat buyer.
I have some clutch shells with both a ten spring Barnett clutch pack, and another with a Rivers Primo clutch.
But , alas, shipping to OZ would be a bite....

Re: STARTER RING GEAR?
NO, With price and poor quality of today's (not all) aftermarket I sometimes find myself running what I can get at the time, and never pass up the good deal on oem "take offs". No panheads in my (small) stable.
