SPECIAL NOTE: The components packaged in this kit have been assembled and machined for specific type of conversions. Modifications to any of the components will void
any possible warranty or return privileges. If you do not fully understand modifications or changes that will be required to complete your conversion, we strongly recommend that
you contact our sales department for more information. This instruction sheet is only to be used for the assembly of Advance Adapter components. We recommend that a service
manual pertaining to your vehicle be obtained for specific torque values, wiring diagrams and other related equipment. These manuals are normally available at automotive dealerships
and parts stores.
NOTE: If using a Chevy V8 168 tooth flywheel, a Vortec V8 or Vortec V6 with a 168 tooth flywheel, you will be required to use a special
starter. Along with the starter comes a slave cylinder spacer for the bellhousing to clear the new starter.
Jeep vehicles with the stock five speed and the install of a V6 or V8 engine have always been limited to a 153 tooth flywheel. Some
of the later model engine blocks only offered a 168 tooth flywheel option, and only offered the one starter bolt pattern on the block.
This hi-torque starter is a noseless starter that fits the 168 tooth flywheel and bolts to the GM blocks only having the one set of mounting
holes.
One issue that arises from this special application: Since the bellhousing was designed around the 153 tooth flywheel and starter,
we tucked the slave cylinder tightly to the side of the bellhousing. When using a 168 tooth flywheel, the starter is located further out
on the block which causes some clearance issues on the slave cylinder. The 3/8" spacer bar included with the starter will space
the slave cylinder out enough to clearance the starter.
