Tim, be aware that neither the stick shift corvair has starter teeth on the
flywheel nor does the Powerglide.  On a stick shift the flywheel teeth are
on a ring gear welded to the pressure plate and the Powerglide Corvair has a
ring gear welded to the torque converter.  Dropping a pressure plate or
torque converter bends the ring gear causing starter problems but in 50
years of Corvair ownership I have never seen missing teeth.
