1970 350 cid flex plate

[cue1go]

If there's anyone out there who knows how many flywheel teeth are on the 1970 Buick 350 w/ TH350 Transmission, I'd be grateful for the info. I found a high torque mini starter on Amazon.com for 47$ that fits the passenger side w/153 tooth flywheel. My standard size starter tends to over heat. Partly because of the heat from the headers and partly because the fuel lines to the tank allows the fuel to bleed back into the tank and it takes a while before the manual fuel pump gets the fuel to the carb after sitting over night. Making the starter work way too hard. I plan on replacing the fuel line, wrapping the header and replacing the starter but I don't want to pay $250 for a high torque starter.

153 may be a V6, from what I've looked up. 168 maybe for a 350?

A $47 starter on Ebay? I'd be wary of going cheap. Check out Jamie McClinton of Newport Start-N-Charge. He's been manufacturing and selling hi-torque starters for our Buicks for several years, with many satisfied customers. He may have a thread here, but I'm not sure. If not, you can find him on v8buick.com also.

Now I'm kickin' myself for not checking this thread before I bought a new mini starter from TA Performance. I could have save $50. Oh well!...Thanks for the reply anyway!

Nothing wrong with supporting TA also.
