damper question

I'll give you some numbers for things that can be cross referenced or you can get the parts I list

Starter
ARCO 70101 old style like you probably have or ARCO 70201 new style (takes a minor wiring change) The 70101 is discontinued but you can find plenty of starters that cross reference with that number.

These are CCW rotating MARINE starters which is what you need for your Reverse rotation 351w

Damper
ALTDA-106A from ebasicpower.com will bolt right on with no trimming or for a little less you can buy a DA-106 and trim it yourself. Cheap and high quality About 110 for the 106A or 80 for the 106 that needs to be trimmed

Ring gear
You need a 157 tooth ring gear I'd go to your local NAPA and tell them you need a ring gear for a 67 Mustang with a 289 and a 4 speed.
You don't want a 351 automotive ring gear cause they're 164 teeth and won't fit or work

Solenoid
Head for NAPA with your old one and tell them you want a new one from their marine catalog.

You could probably get everything at NAPA but you might pay quite a bit more for the damper as compared to ebasicpower's price.

You can find some pretty reasonably priced starters on the net using the ARCO numbers for cross reference as compared to NAPA prices too.

I guess it depends on how much of a hurry you're in.

Kens list is excellent.

Add a battery and/or battery cables to your list... the solenoid stuck for a reason!

Quit reading about that stuff

Most everybody that's ever put one on just bolts it on and you're good to go

The ALTDA -106A that's mentioned will only have 3 bolts holding it to the flywheel instead of 6 which is probably what your original damper had. That's not a problem either

I don't know how the rest of the world does it but I'd bolt the damper on, then bolt the bellhousing on, then put the transmission on. That way you're sliding the transmission on the studs that are in the bellhousing and it easier on your muscles getting the splines lined up.and slid together You should have 6 threaded holes in the bellhousing for the transmission. The bottom 4 have studs and the top 2 take bolts.

The closer to level that you have the engine, the easier the sliding into place is too.

The transmission you have is about 95 pounds so it's not the easiest thing to wrestle around.

Thanks ken . You guys are the best . I knew you would set me strait. Was online yesterday and was really confused on what to order and where to get it . Will probably end up just getting the stuff at napa as I need it quick . The wife will have my balls if its not up and running for the fireworks on the fourth . Somehow this is all my fault . lol . Pulled all the parts yesterday . Would have had it back together if I had the parts in hand .


Glad you guys confirmed the batt cables . The solenoid has stuck a few times before . Changed the starter , solenoid , Battery , ignition switch and still does it every now and then. Was thinking all that was left was the cables .    

When I heard the kid coming with it banging and wrapping I thought for sure he blew the motor . Was almost happy when I lifted the cover and saw the starter smoking .

Ill let you know how it goes
Thanks Derrek.

I'm not sure NAPA will have the damper plate.

My pretty old NAPA catalog doesn't list one

They have a guy who rebuilds starters . He had one on the shelf .


Installed everything .   Works great . Starts like a ford now instead of like an old chrysler .

Just wanted to thank all you guys for all your help . You saved me so much time and hastle .

Putting it in today for a water test . Don't expect any problems ..
