[QUOTE="Hotrod1830, post: 125629, member: 4331"] Yes, a narrower ring gear will work. Judging by the photo of the old one, the starter gear wasnt engaging the full width anyway. But you MUST make sure the ring gear is square and straight when you press it on. take a measurement of the new ring gear and make sure the inside diameter is slightly smaller than the original. reason I say this, is the original was pressed on for years and may not relax to the original inside diameter. You want that ring gear TIGHT. You will need to heat it to get it on. given the thinner diameter, it will need a greater press fit to remain in position. If you can wait, I say wait. If you need it NOW, then go for it. [/QUOTE]
