SBC guys - school me...staggered V straight SBC starters?

Looking to grab a SBC hi torq starter...have a TH350 behind a 67 283 SBC. 169 tooth flywheel.

What do I need/should I look out for?

Thanx

168 tooth flywheel uses the staggered starter housing.

 

They made 153 and 168 tooth flywheel. Generally the stock starters were straight pattern for the 153 and staggered for the 168. The modern mini starters are different, some of them are straight pattern for the 168.

 

Count your flywheel again

168 tooth

You most likely will need a staggered pattern starter

 

Its a 168 - typo.

So if I was to use a mini starter with the hard parts I have, what do I need ?

Am I correct in assuming staggered?
