Ron- it is imperative you match the ring gear to correct starter bendix. A =
parts store without an older employee that is aware of the 157 and 160 toot=
h flywheel ring gear will sell you whatever starter that will bolt up. Unfo=
rtunately it is easy to install a new flywheel but pulling the engine isn't=
 as easy as changing a ring gear. May well be to late for your ring gear bu=
t it is easy to change out the bendix so "others" can make sure they have a=
 bendix that matches their ring gear.TonytheTiger(TtT)=20
